We are excited to announce that LAUSD Board Member Tamar Galatzan
has withdrawn her motion to deputize police officers to give $250
"truancy" tickets to students while on school grounds! This decision followed a successful action on King and Vermont led by our Community Rights Taking Action students. Our defeat of the Galatzan proposal broke open a discussion about the negative impacts of truancy tickets
Did you know that you could get a truancy ticket for being just one minute late? Did you know that you could be denied your driver's license if you do not pay the fine? Did you know you can ask for rehearing if you think the referee ruled unfairly? KNOW YOUR RIGHTS on LA's daytime curfew law...
