School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).

Horvath decides to run for Los Angeles County CEO

(The Center Square) - Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath has launched a 2028 campaign for the county's newly created, voter-approved position of elected CEO. Reportedly the position would pay $558,000 a year, more than twice the California governor's salary. The reform, which came about with the passage of Measure G, flips the local power structure by placing the CEO, who will oversee a $50 billion-plus budget, above the Board of Supervisors, while also expanding the board itself from five to nine members. The current CEO is Joseph Nicchitta, who was appointed by the board on May 19. Starting with the 2028 elections, the CEO is slated to be elected by voters. “Los Angeles has never been a place that dreams small, but for too long, our County government has moved too slowly, failed to meet the moment, and allowed bureaucracy to stand in the way of progress,” Horvath posted on X. “I fight every day to reform our government because I believe the people of Los Angeles deserve better — a government that works for them, delivers real results, and is accountable to the people it serves. That’s why I’m running to become Los Angeles County’s first elected County
