#LAUSD Technology Project | Seeking Community Input | Please share your voice #CCSS #CommonCore

Past PTA President and current Webmaster/Social Media Chair, Alex Candelaria is one of two Parent Members on the LAUSD Common Core Technology Project (CCTP) Ad Hoc Committee. The committee was created to increase transparency, make Board members more accessible to the public, and provide all LAUSD community members a chance to have their voices heard regarding the $1B roll out, using voter approved bonds, of iPads & potentially other technology to all LAUSD students, teachers and staff.

In the interest of harnessing the voice of our community we've created the following email address ([email protected]) for receipt of comments, questions and concerns on this very public debate being waged to then be assembled as best as possible to present to the committee at Board Meetings. We will do our best to capture all comments and are considering additional means of providing feedback (separate blog posts, webpage or other means).  Your input is important and greatly appreciated!
