Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy and school board member Tamar Galatzan will appear Wednesday at a town hall discussion sponsored by the Daily News. Local parents, students, teachers and residents will be able to ask a range of questions on education and school budgeting during the forum to be moderated by Daily News columnist and radio host Doug McIntyre.
The discussion will likely touch on some of the most pressing issues facing Valley schools, including budget cuts, the future of charter and magnet schools and Deasy’s proposal to put a $270-a-year parcel tax on the ballot to fund local campuses.
The town hall begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, in El Camino Real Charter High School’s Grieb Theater at 5440 Valley Circle Blvd. in Woodland Hills.

All stores, restaurants, the AMC movie theater, Target, etc. that are located at Westfield Topanga & Promenade are eligible.
2) Purchase a Westfield gift card any time during the program, and Woodlake will earn points for the dollar value, plus 1,000 bonus points! Make sure you log the gift card at the time of purchase.
