Most LAUSD board races have no challengers for 2026. What does that mean for public education in Los Angeles?

LAUSD is the largest school district in the U.S. with an elected school board, yet the board races in the 2026 cycle currently have one or zero declared challengers.

Curious how common this is in other large districts and what people think it signals about governance and civic participation.
