VALLEYWIDE : School Board Chief to Discuss Remap
- Share via
Nearly two months after a redistricting battle pitted her against many San Fernando Valley organizations, Los Angeles school board President Leticia Quezada is scheduled to address a major Valley business coalition today to discuss the recent remapping and its implications.
The board of directors of the Valley Industry and Commerce Assn., an organization representing more than 300 corporations and businesses, will hear from Quezada during a lunch in Universal City.
Last month, members of the association testified before the Los Angeles City Council against a redistricting plan advocated by Quezada that created a second Latino-dominated district and cut the number of all-Valley seats on the Los Angeles City Board of Education from two to one.
