LAUSD board special election candidate Q&A: Jackie Goldberg
On Tuesday, May 14, voters in northeast and southeast Los Angeles will elect a new representative to fill an open seat on the L.A. Unified School Board.
Jackie Goldberg, a longtime L.A. politician who has served on the LAUSD board, L.A. City Council and in the California Assembly, is running against Heather Repenning for this seat.
Listen to an interview segment with Goldberg as it aired on KPCC's Take Two on April 10, 2019. Here's more of KPCC/LAist's coverage of the LAUSD special election:
