No expense is going to be spared in this Education Battle Royale.
At only 30 years old, Nick Melvoin has made an impressive name for himself. It’s important to know his biography which definitely influences his political orientation on education. Nick comes from a very well-to-do Hollywood industry family and spent his youth in LA’s elite private schools. He left for Harvard and later received his Masters in Education at Loyola Marymount University (the incubator for LA’s Reform movement with former Broadie and LA Superintendent John Deasy and School Board representative Ref Rodriguez as star alumni).
Melvoin taught for two years in Brooklyn after receiving his five-week teacher training from TFA. He credits his TFA experience important “to make young, promising people aware of the issues of education, so that when they ‘graduate’ from Teach for America and become important leaders in society, they will effect long term change in the education system.”
Like many TFA’ers in the country’s education system, Melvoin is set on making his mark as well.
Melovin was the director of policy, communications and associate counsel for former LA Mayor LAUSD's Coming District 4 Battle Royale - LA Progressive:
