Everyone agrees that public schools are the back bone of our democracy and everyone also knows that California schools are woefully underfunded. That is why we need Measure EE, on the ballot on June 4, to pass. Our teachers, students, schools, and classrooms are counting on it. Please vote on June 4 or mail your absentee ballot no later than the 4th. This measure requires a 2/3 vote to be successful, so let's tell friends, neighbors, colleagues and others to VOTE YES ON EE ON JUNE 4. It’s not perfect, but Measure EE is an important start to help our students and public schools in LAUSD by providing needed funds to retain and attract more teachers, lower class sizes, and fund more support staff, such as nurses, librarians, and school psychologists. Remind everyone of the facts: Those property owners 65 years or older can exempt themselves from the assessment. 3 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s MEASURE EE (Cont) The assessment on a house of 2000 square feet will be less than $1 per day. A house of 4000 square feet will see an increase of less than $2 a day. California schools are underfunded. The state spends around $12,000 per student compared to $23,000 in New York and Connecticut. Steve Lopez, Los Angeles Times columnist, writes, “Voters need to ask themselves what happens if Measure EE goes down. Will decades-old buildings deteriorate further, will layoffs be unavoidable, will the students who get a cut-rate education end up costing us more as adults than they contribute?” (May 29, 2019) Something to think about. It is time for all of those who say they support public education to step up and put their money where their mouths are. We must emphasize that Measure EE needs 2/3 of the vote to pass, so it is crucial that we get every supporter of public schools to the polls. And in an election that analysts predict will have a very low turnout, every single vote will truly matter. Volunteers are needed from Saturday through Tuesday to knock on doors across Los Angeles to remind everyone to vote yes on Measure EE. It’s crunch time; please click HERE for locations and times where you can volunteer. HEALTHCARE FAQs― ARTHRITIS AFFECTS OVER 50 MILLION ADULTS Do you have pain in your joints or arthritis? Join the crowd—arthritis affects 54.4 million U.S. adults, about 1 in 4, over 18 years of age. It is the most common cause of disability in the United States. What are the most common types of arthritis? Osteoarthritis (OA) — This is the most common form of arthritis. This type of arthritis typically occurs in older adults. In OA, the top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together. Most often affecting the fingers, knees, and hips, the rubbing causes pain or aching, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint.

Lid, Legislative Assistant COUNCIL FILE NO. 10-1076: SURVEY FINDINGS FROM SCHOOL-PARKS SHARED USE STUDY The Department of Recreation and Parks (Depaliment) began its shared use relationship with Los Angeles Unified School District (LA US D) in 1967 with an agreement for the construction and operation of a pool at Venice High SchooL The pool was subsequently built by the City on LAUSD property. The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.
