Schmerelson's time on the LAUSD School Board will cap a long career devoted to the field of education. He has been a teacher, a counselor, a vice-principal, and a principal. During his last campaign, many of those who worked alongside him came out to advocate for his election because he had earned their loyalty. On March 3, we will see if he has the same effect on the electorate.
