UNITE-LA COMMENDS LAUSD BOARD FOR CHOOSING NEXT SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Miami-Dade County School Leader with Tremendous Public School Success to Head LAUSD

UNITE-LA was founded on and remains unwaveringly committed to dismantling inequities, particularly in educational systems and labor markets. We now pledge to move beyond basic understandings of barriers, opportunity, and social mobility and work to advance equity across all dimensions, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, ability, and social class background.

As we come upon one year since the passing of our beloved colleague, friend and mentor, Dr. Alma Salazar, the UNITE-LA family is honoring her by committing ourselves to do even more for the youth of Los Angeles.
