LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOT ERS OF
L O S A N G E L E SLOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT P UBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE
ADVISORY REP ORT
INTRODUCTION
The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles is a non-partisan organization devotedto encourage and promote the informed and active participation of all residents ingovernment. Active civic engagement in the democratic process is encouraged through a
variety of services. One such service is our election management service. On January 14,2010, the League accepted a request from the Los Angeles Unified School District
(LAUSD) to administer an advisory vote election for its public school choice (PSC)initiative because we could create a safe and unbiased voting environment at localized
voting centers.
This initiative was designed to tap into the potential wealth of innovative ideas and
educational models that will help the LAUSD advance its commitment to provide aquality education for our students... As a result, proposals were accepted from internal
and external applicants seeking to be selected as the new governance structure for the 36selected new and existing schools. It was the LAUSD Board of Educations desire to
collect information from parents, students, employees and members of the community
the community at large about their applicant preference(s).
The advisory vote process was designed to collect approximately 10,000 votes from100,000 eligible voters. As the process continued, the number of eligible voters grew to
275,000 and no one attempted to estimate the number of sign-in (community and non-verified) voting categories.
The advisory vote was a new concept that required the development of a customizedvoting process. As an advisory vote that emphasized broad-based inclusion of interested
persons, it also required un-traditional voting procedures. The process incorporatedsuggestions and requirements of the superintendent, board of education, and
representatives of employees and parents. Five categories of eligible voters wereidentified from rosters provided by LAUSD. Two additional categories required voters
to provide their name, signature, and reason for voting. The relationship of voters inthese two categories to the PSC could not be verified Definitions for each voting

ELECTION PROCESS
The election process was designed and implemented in less than three weeks andrequired the involvement of over 400 volunteers. Voting was permitted on two days.
One weekday and one weekend day. The weekday permitted employees and highschools students to vote during normal school hours; the voting center was open from
7:00 am. 10:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. The weekend permitted workingparents and members of the community to also vote and provided all others an additional
opportunity to participate in the process; the voting centers were open from 9:00 a.m.
12:00 p.m. In one location, an additional voting center was opened for four hours toaccommodate students and employees who requested it.
The election was in fact 36 elections. Thirty pre-selected voting centers were
administered throughout the greater Los Angeles region. A separate ballot was requiredfor each PSC school. These ballots required customized voting instructions to facilitate
voting for the distinctive applicant pools associated with each PSC school. Additionalcustomization in the instructions was required regarding the single or multiple voting
options associated with approximately seven schools. Nothing was the same at any of thesites or for any of the PSC schools.
VOTER ELIGIBILITY
Voter eligibility was determined by an individuals parent or employee relationship toa school involved in the PSC process, and student enrollment in participating high
schools. Feeder school parents were only included where their students were likely to
transfer into a PSC high school or middle school. In addition to the voters identifiedfrom rosters, two other categories of voters were allowed to vote upon signing in as self-identified community members or as a non-verified LAUSD parent, employee, or
high school student. All voting centers had staff, parents, and the two sign-in (non-verifiable) categories, but only some had the other three.
VOTER EDUCATION
As a condition of participation in this election, the League required the LAUSD toprovide eligible voters with bi-lingual (English and Spanish) information on the PSC
advisory vote. These included: An Advisory Vote webpage dedicated to the electionprocess, an oral and written summary of the applicant proposals, sample ballots, and the
voting guidelines. Additionally, enlarged versions of this information were displayed atthe voting centers.

15, 16, 21, 22, 23, and 24. In these schools, the sign-in voters did not change theoutcome of the advisory vote.
Several schools received an influx of sign-in ballots cast that challenged the
verified groups choices. In particular, some schools received a large number of votesfor charter schools in opposition to the choice of the verified categories. These
included PSCs # 1, 9, 11, 17, 19, 25, 26 and 28. PSCs # 19 and 26 deserve specialattention because the sign-in ballots cast overwhelmed those in the verified
categories to give a majority to another applicant. PSC # 25 almost had this result, too.
FURTHER ANALYSIS
There are other questions about these voting patterns that could be answered using the
same data but comparing groups differently. For instance, are there clues to thedifferences of opinion that occurred in some schools or to the unity that occurred in
others? Did parents of children in a school vote with or against the employees? Ifstudents voted, were they more likely to vote with their parents or with the employees?
These analyses might reveal something about the relationships among the differentgroups but would require more time than is available to complete.
A related subject for analysis could be the question of why some schools voted so
uniformly and why others had differences in opinion. Is this related to whether teachersand parents agreed in their voting? Should the electioneering patterns be examined? For
instance, did some groups experience competing electioneering? Is it good or bad for adiversity of opinion to exist on a campus?
On another issue, these data indicate that feeder grade and feeder school parents voted
in very small numbers even though these made up the largest classes of eligible voters.None at all voted in some schools where eligible voter lists were in place at the voting
centers, and in some cases only a few participated. Did these groups receive appropriatenotification and information to help them? Was it too difficult to get to the voting center?
Did they not care about something so far in the future for their children?
Inspection of voter sign-in sheets might yield clues to the identities of voters in thecommunity and non-verified categories but the questions in the previous two
paragraphs cannot be answered by these data alone.
CONCLUSION

This is the single most important tool to empower eligible voters to act in their own bestinterest. A longer planning period would be essential.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In this section, the League is providing a short list of recommendations whichmay be considered to improve the advisory vote process in the future.
AREAS FOR FURTHER REVIEW
1. More advance time to plan the voting process, prepare voting materials, educateeligible voter about the applicant options, and train volunteers is necessary.
2. Eliminate the community voting category until a definition can be acceptedthat minimizes the abusive practices experienced at the few locations wherethey were evident.
3. Make sure that at least one unbiased person speaks the appropriate language ateach voting center.
4. Provide the names of both parents/guardians on the eligible voter lists5. Establish whether identification is required for voting in any category6.
Ensure voter education materials are distributed (the League heard reports thatmany voters did not receive the intended materials).
7. Create a focused participation campaign at the feeder school level (many neverknew they were eligible to vote in the election).
8. Institute a one-vote:one-person voting protocol, regardless of the number ofchildren in the family and regardless if the voter is an employee and a parent.
9. Restrict voting by minors. (The League strongly promotes the engagement ofchildren and youth in any opportunity which gives them an age appropriateexperience in a voting process; however, at some voting centers children were
engaged inappropriately.)

12.Improve list management to quickly process eligible voters. (For instance,magnet school rosters were not incorporated with the primary comprehensive
list)
13.Restrict electioneering to the public areas surrounding the school site.14.Include language in the voting guidelines about who is NOT eligible to vote in
each category.
15.Select voting centers that provide adequate space outside to form organizedlines of voters and that allow for private voting stations.
TESTIMONIALS RECEIVED FROM VOTERS AND
VOLUNTEERS
I. Election Days I wanted to thank you for the opportunity and let you know that it was one of the
most pleasant, fun jobs I've ever done in my history.
Thank you League of Women Voters for taking on this election. This was a welcome Opportunity for first time voters/community members to voice
opinion
Election site was well-organized Great team work shown by election team Adequate security at sites was provided. It was a good idea to have a category to allow community members to vote. Hotline phone service was helpful. League involvement in the election legitimized the election for most voters. Callers appreciated accurate and timely responses to questions.
