The city has tasked voters with deciding several issues via City Measures. A “yes” on Measure DD would take redistricting away from L.A. politicians while Measure LL does the same for L.A.’s school district. Measure ER would revamp the Ethics Commission. A “yes” on Measure FF entitles some police to a better pension. Two grab-bag measures would amend the city charter: Amendment HH and City Charter Amendment II.
L.A. school races
Three seats on the L.A. Unified School District’s Board of Education are on the ballot.
A “yes” on L.A. Unified ’s Measure US would authorize $9 billion in bonds to: update and improve school facilities for student learning, career/college preparedness, safety, earthquakes and disability access; make repairs; provide learning technology; and create green outdoor school spaces.
