Nick Melvoin, member of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss LAUSD's decision to ban cell phone use during the school day, which will take effect in January 2025.

In 2017, a 31-year-old Nick Melvoin '04 was elected as one of seven members of the largest self-governing school district in the world, the LAUSD Board of Education. In this episode, Nick tells his story, from growing up in LA and attending Harvard-Westlake and Harvard College, before teaching in a Watts public school as part of Teach For America. The inequities that Nick observed there led him to partner with the ACLU in 2014 to sue the LAUSD on behalf of his students—a lawsuit he and the ACLU won—prompting Nick to attend law school and then public service in the Obama White House and then the school board. Now a decade later and viewing these issues as a policymaker, Nick speaks about the LAUSD's challenges—600,000 students, with 85% of LA kids living in poverty—and the delicate tensions around teacher compensation, teachers' unions, and school autonomy. Nick also discusses his recent resolution banning cell phones in all of LAUSD. Since the recording of this podcast, Nick's resolution passed. Nick references various educators at Harvard-Westlake, as well as Catherine Belcher of LMU and Mark Rosenbaum of the ACLU, as profound life influences.

Los Angeles County Schools are currently running the nation's largest food bank and providing hundreds of thousands of computers with hotspots to students. This started when schools first closed in March. Los Angeles Unified School District is the second largest public school system in the country, but it doesn't just educate nearly 700,000 students. It provides a social safety net to the 82% of students who live in poverty and 18,000 homeless students. On this week's episode of THE LATEST PODCAST, LAUSD board member Nick Melvoin discusses how the pandemic has exacerbated problems that already existed within L.A. County and how they were able to take action to address these problems.

Little did they know when they met as 2015 NLC LA Fellows that 5 years later they'd still be working together to better educational outcomes for students in LAUSD. But that's what happened and on this episode of The Zag, Nick Melvoin, LAUSD School Board Member, and Danielle Tenner, his chief of staff, share their origin story, the challenges of COVID-19, and the opportunity at hand to reimagine how schools serve as the anchor for communities.

This week: We explore reasons for the Los Angeles Unified's Measure EE defeat and talk with LASUD board member Nick Melvoin and David Tokofsky, a former board member and strategist for the district administrators' union; and we reveal the name of California's new online community college.

This week, can teachers and L.A. Unified shed their acrimony from a strike and work together? Can the district afford commitments it negotiated? School board member Nick Melvoin and UCLA Professor John Rogers discuss the impact of the 7-day strike.

More than 30,000 L.A.U.S.D. teachers are set to walk off the job next week. That will leave more than 600,000 students without their regular instructors. United Teacher's Los Angeles are planning their first strike since 1989. On "The Issue Is:," we talk to both sides to see if a strike can be averted at the last minute. If it's not, what does this mean for parents and students? With us: -Arlene Inouye, Sec. of United Teacher's Los Angeles -Nick Melvoin, L.A.U.S.D.

Topics included the LAUSD/UTLA teacher strike, local ADEM elections, and Brexit. At air time on Jan 17th, the teachers strike enters the end of a first week, with no breakthrough hailed imminent yet. We talked to Nick Melvoin, LAUSD District 4 Board member & Board VP and Kaye Steinsapir, a local mother, lawyer and opinion leader among school parents. Our ADEM discussion centered around the engagement of residents in districts across this taking part in a hyper-local democracy that plays out across America in small communities with real, grassroots, activists. Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEM) are elections where local residents have a say in how their state political party shapes the narrative of the local legislature. We had Steve Bott, running in AD50 in the Grassroots slate leading the conversation along with Lauren Perotti running in AD46, Sudi Farrokhnia in AD 73, and political consultant and former ADEM candidate, Michael Soneff.

Today's guest is my friend Nick Melvoin. Nick has spent his career fighting for our city’s schoolchildren. He believes that together, with the right leadership, we can ensure that every student in Los Angeles has the opportunity to succeed. Born and raised on the Westside of LA, Nick served as a seventh and eighth grade English teacher at Markham Middle School, an LAUSD campus in Watts, where he coached soccer and baseball and helped his students launch a school newspaper. At Markham, he saw firsthand how LAUSD failed to support schools and neglected the needs of our city’s most vulnerable students. When he and two-thirds of Markham’s teachers lost their jobs due to budget cuts, he fought to be re-hired and worked to end the indiscriminate, seniority-based teacher layoffs that harm so many LA families. As a teacher, Nick joined the ACLU, Mayors Riordan and Villaraigosa, and others to bring a ground-breaking civil rights lawsuit which argued that LA’s layoffs violated the rights of students. They won. Nick holds a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, a Masters in Urban Education from Loyola Marymount University (LMU), and a law degree from the New York University School of Law, where he was a Root-Tilden-Kern Scholar. In addition to serving as a teacher, Nick has worked in the Obama White House with the Domestic Policy Council and the US Attorney’s office where he took part in various civil rights investigations as a legal clerk. Today, Nick leads and facilitates efforts by students, parents, teachers, and community members to rethink and shape the future of our city’s schools. He is also an adjunct professor at LMU where he teaches teachers how to improve their own advocacy in the classroom. In working for nonprofits such as Teach Plus and Educators 4 Excellence, Nick helps to improve the support teachers across the state receive before and during their time in the classroom, as well as amplify teacher voice in policy-making. Nick serves on the boards of the Los Angeles County Young Democrats, Brentwood Community Council, Teach For America Associates, University Synagogue's Social Justice Committee, and United in Harmony. He is a graduate of the Jewish Federation’s New Leaders Project and the New Leaders Council and chairs the Jewish Federation’s Educators’ Network. Nick is also proud to serve as a director of Camp Harmony, a camp for homeless and underserved children. His commitment to solving educational inequity was first sparked as a volunteer at Camp Harmony more than fifteen years ago. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/7questions/support
