(March 8, 2012) -- The incumbent and the challenger seeking the public's votes that would give them voting power for the next four years on decisions on how LB's schools are run -- from budget cuts to academic matters -- faced off in a forum presented by the Wrigley Association on Monday March. 5.


LB School Board president Dr. Felton Williams (in photo below, left) cited his experience, LB schools' academic performance and awards and recognitions crediting LBUSD for its accomplishments. Challenger Ricardo Linarez (in photo below, right) cited his experince as a school parent, challenged the incumbent on academic performance, criticized district costs for consultants and travel and said LBUSD's six page public budget document showed a lack of transparency that he would change.

Among those attending the event at Wrigley's Veterans Park was School Board member John McGinnis. Also visible: two of the 27 individuals who applied to be considered for appointment (by the School Board) to the ELB School Board District seat recently vacated by Dr. David Barton (citing health reasons): Diane Ripley (LB native, longtime community advocate and public affairs specialist) and Gavin McKiernan (former Wrigley resident, now lives in ELB) who moderated the Wrigley forum.


Voters in School Board District 2 (map below) will make the decision that will affect students, parents, teachers and taxpayers throughout LBUSD (includes all of LB and part of Lakewood + Catalina); each of the LB School Board's five members has a co-equal decision-making vote.


Voting begins in just days with vote by mail ballots; polling place "election day" is April 10.
