Dear friends and partners,

This weekend, our Board District 4 team hosted our 3rd annual School Beautification Day at Paul Revere Middle School. We had nearly 200 volunteers come out to help paint a beautiful mural, plant trees, clean and refresh the campus, collect non-perishable food items for our Thanksgiving food drive, and more! Thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors, and partners for their hard work and support of this school community. 

We are also grateful to voters for approving Measure US, LAUSD’s $9 billion facilities bond, to help us continue investing in the critical upgrades, campus modernizations, and innovative learning spaces fit for our next generation of leaders. As chair of the District's Facilities and Procurement Committee, I will continue to advocate for us to streamline and improve current policies and practices, and promote public transparency and awareness for current and future projects. 

Onward,
