Background
The Los Angeles City Board of Education serves as the governing, policy-making body for the Los Angeles Unified School District
(LAUSD), which was previously composed of three districts: the Los Angeles City School District that served kindergarten through
8th grade and formed on September 19, 1853; the Los Angeles City High School District that served grades 9 through 12 and
formed in 1890; and the Los Angeles City Junior College District formed in 1931. As a result of the school unification election
of June 7, 1960, the elementary and high school districts merged to form the LAUSD on July 1, 1961. Since July 1, 1969, the
Los Angeles Junior College District has been governed by a separate Board of Trustees.
