It’s not easy keeping track of terms used in LAUSD, including such basics as the geographic “districts” (regions) into which the sprawling district has been divided. 

Let’s start with the three districts that are up for grabs in March:

District 2 (Light blue) -Central Los Angeles from Larchmont to East LA (includes Koreatown, Downtown, Boyle Heights, El Sereno)  Currently held by Monica Garcia.

District 4 (Green, left) – Westside from Hollywood to the Pacific Palisades (includes Encino, Mar Vista, Westchester, Westwood)  Currently held by Steve Zimmer.

District 6 (Blue, top)-East San Fernando Valley from Sylmar to Van Nuys (includes Pacoima, North Hollywood, Sun Valley) Currently held by Nury Martinez.
