News, Rivas builds on small lead in L.A. school board race; Gonez extends lead : detailed suggestions and opinions about Rivas builds on small lead in L.A. school board race; Gonez extends lead .
Rocio Rivas has built on her lead over Maria Brenes in a close Los Angeles school board race to represent downtown, surrounding neighborhoods and the Eastside, according to an updated tally released Monday.
In a second board race, for a seat representing the east San Fernando Valley, school board President Kelly Gonez has extended her advantage over challenger Marvin Rodriguez.
The Rivas-Brenes race has implications for the direction of the nation’s second-largest school system. Rivas, who is a senior aide to school board member Jackie Goldberg, was strongly backed by the teachers’ union and opposed by supporters of privately operated, publicly funded charter schools. Most charters, which enroll about 1 in 5 district students, are nonunion.
