Korenstein won't run again

Julie Korenstein, the longest-serving school-board member in L.A. Unified's history, won't seek re-election. She's sat on the board for 22 years, mainly representing District 6 in the San Fernando Valley, and was a substitute teacher for the district before that.

Korenstein noted her longevity at a board meeting earlier this year. A speaker who'd known Korenstein for years noted that his hair had since gone white. Korenstein noted that her hair color had also changed. "Now I'm a blond," she quipped. "Go figure."

With board member Marlene Canter also announcing earlier this week that she will not run again, two seats on the seven-member school board will be open during the next election.

Full story to come.
