Dear family and neighbors,
I am excited to be running for School Board in Board District 1. I was born and raised in South Central LA and attended LAUSD schools. I have been a parent in Board District 1 for 20 years. My kids have attended Crenshaw and Dorsey. I believe that our public schools are the foundation for community development and revitalization.
I remember listening to the radio in 2003 and hearing this beautiful voice talking about getting involved in the fight for public education. I showed up to a meeting of Black parents at an Elementary School. I have been organizing and advocating in this community ever since.
Since then, I have served on African American Education Task forces and the LAUSD Parent Advisory Committee. I have been on the front lines of fights to stop the closing of Black Schools AND fought for Community Schools and the creation of the Black Student Achievement Plan. Holding LAUSD accountable to us and our communities and demanding that LAUSD engage parents has always been my priority.
I am a proud union member of SEIU 721 and have always stood shoulder to shoulder with educators.
As a father of five and now a grandfather of two, I am really concerned about the state of public education. We must interrupt the School to Prison Pipeline in our schools. We must make sure kids get the supports they need. We must make sure parents are engaged. And we will hold LAUSD accountable to our community. All of this will help us to create young leaders of the future.
I have been doing this work for 20 years, I am confident that I have the skills, leadership, experience, and motivation to serve as your School Board Member.
I think it’s time to put a Black dad on the School Board!
Peace,
Kahllid
