Once again voters are given a faux choice between a Leninist and a Marxist. Here the former has an irritating personality and wants to keep about 143 district schools operating, and the (hopefully less irritating) latter favors 147.

If you plan to waste your time and vote in your district school board contest, be sure to reject any candidate who won’t solemnly pledge to work to:

reduce OUSD to the minimum number of schools, hours, services, etc required by law.

end discriminatory school admission policies, such as those which favor students who have a sibling already enrolled in a school, students from the neighborhood, etc.

charge sponsors of enrolled students the maximum out-of-pocket (tuition, activity fee, etc) permitted by law.

seek all possible exemptions to expensive, protectionist state regulations, ie credentials, prevailing wages, and so forth.

reduce the Superintendent’s (and the Board’s) compensation to the minimum allowed by law

require that all OUSD teachers who have school-aged kids of their own enroll at least half of them in an OUSD school that is no better than the one their parent teaches in
