Raymond Chavarria, program coordinator for the United Cambodian Community and local activist, today announced his intention to run for the Long Beach School Board in next year's election. Chavarria will run for the Third District seat, currently held by controversial - and currently missing - board member Michael Ellis. A press release today included this statement from Chavarria: Today I am officially announcing my intention to seek election to the office of Long Beach School Board Member in April of 2010. If elected, I intend to represent the residents of District 3 and be their voice on the school board. I will be watching our State Budget and District Budget to assure in protecting teacher and employee’s job. I will fight in providing the best education to every student, keep class sizes reduces, and better prepare students for college for all students who choose to pursue it. Ellis is eligible to run for his seat again but has not yet stated whether he will or not. Comments

CHS If Raymond can attend most of the board meetings, he will be a big improvement over Ellis. lbresident he sounds horrible. sounds like another teacher's union crony. can't we find anyone that will fight bad teacher union policies? we have a good school district. We don't want to end up like LA unified. First District resident As he has always beaten the drum for unions, I'd be concerned that his main support will be for union issues, which was the same story with Ellis, and we just don't need union mouthpieces on the Board, causing the same problems we've had in the past. cb If he's running for a school board position he needs to clean up his grammar and spelling mistakes in his press releases! 3rd District Mom Wonderful-another illiterate union mouthpiece-this is why the charter school model is the only viable model for education in the 21st century. Haiku Frank Like Michael Ellis/Charvarria does not have/Teaching credential. JoeS The people of LB are going to decide, Do we care about educating children or do we want to protect the jobs of the worst teachers? It is hilarious that people still think TALB is a good endorsement. It should be the Kiss of Death. "Protecting Teacher and Employee Jobs." That says it all. "More Money, Less Work!!" "Forget the Kids!" I'm sure TALB will endorse this piece of work... unless they can find someone worse!! He might be a little too literate for some of the bonehead TALB members. Can't the Cambodian Community find anyone better than this?
