The Area 6 seat is presently held by Jacob Rambo who Ly is challenging for the seat.

Ly is a local educator, working with foster youth with the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE). He also worked promoting anti-bullying with SCOE, and as a substitute teacher for one  year in the Elk Grove District.

Ly previously ran unsuccessfully for the school board in 2002 and he applied for the Area 6 seat last spring after Trustee Pam Irey resigned due to health issues.  Rambo was appointed by the board at that time.
Ly publicly criticized the Board of Trustees in a quote by the Elk Grove Citizen at his campaign kickoff event last week, apparently referring to the labor issues that have plagued the district recently.

“You have the fighting that’s going on, and at the same time the ones who should be at the helm have forgotten that the bottom line here is we have to provide for our students,” he said.

We'll talk to Candidate Ly, and ask him his views on where the district is now, and what he see's for the future.

This is a live, interview/call-in format. You can ask YOUR questions, by phone or internet chat.
Join us for lunch on Friday for the first in what is planned as an ongoing feature on RadioElkGrove..

Who's Your Next School Board Member?

Someone will be voting in your place on Thursday, choosing an elected official for a two year term. Who will be the next member of our school board?


Listen in New Window/Tab

 
The School Board meets Thursday to choose a replacement Supervisor for mid-term resignee Pollyanna Cooper-Levangie. How far reaching is this appointment, and who are the candidates?

 Let's look into it together, on today's RadioElkGrove.
 --------------------------------
For the second time this year, the Elk Grove Unified School District will appoint a replacement to the Board of Supervisors. But the process to date has been a little obscure.

That changed today, with the release by EGUSD of the application materials of four current applicants for Thursday’s appointment proceedings. Today we'll give you a snap-shot of the candidates.
