Oh man, I actually love this idea. Why should adults be the only ones making decisions for them? They should have a voice, and this is a great way to active them in important processes like voting at an earlier age. Give them the opportunity to buy into their future and I think you’ll be surprised.
Thank you Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez!
CM Hernandez is the 1st City of LA elected official to offer their support for allowing "residents 16 and up to vote in LAUSD Board elections to allow for representation of the people most impacted by these elections."

Some support in Los Angeles for lowering the voting age for school board elections specifically.
Some places are trying this out. Here's a piece on Newark from last year: boltsmag.org/newark-teens...
