Why VSU Does Not Endorse May 22 Walkout
On Friday May 22, as Venice Posted was being distributed, many LAUSD students walked out of class. The VSU is not supporting a Venice student walk out!
Why? Because last week we protested in a demonstration to show that Venice High students do not want teacher layoffs! We did it on our own and it was much more original! We made our point already and to do it again this week would be overkill.
The VSU is a positive organization of students for students that promotes the highest good for all of our educations. We do not want to come across as a group that encourages students ditching class!

What is the VSU
You might be asking yourself what the Venice Student Union is, and what it means to you. Well, to answer your question, you are the VSU!
The VSU is an independent student union formed upon the idea that we as students can make a difference at our school! It is composed of all the students at Venice High School and will organize events that demonstrate to those in power that we mean to take responsibility over our own educations. It is our futures that we value! We all understand that school has the power to help us improve our chances of succeeding or stopping us from getting ahead. It is essential that we begin making an effort to determine that we succeed!
Are there any policies or rules at Venice High School that you hate?! (Hat policy, no cell phone policy?) However, if you choose to break a rule, you get in trouble! No individual student can make a difference at school alone…but if we all stand up and say no then we can create change! That’s what the VSU is about. That’s why you should get involved!!
