Steve Rose felt it was not completely unprecedented. "The Chamber of Commerce Board has, over the last 10-12 years, twice come out in favor of fiscal responsibility for the Culver City School District. We supported the parcel tax and the bond that was passed in the 90's." Rose offered that the chamber's decision to endorse was also inspired by a sense of financial responsibility. "The [...]

I got to know Laura when I joined the La Ballona Elementary School PTA board nine years ago. La Ballona is culturally diverse, with dozens of different languages being spoken in our students’ homes. Laura Chardiet had a vision of EVERYONE being included and [...]
