Voices from our community

“As a teacher at LCUSD, I've witnessed the integrity Amar brings to serving his community. His experience and dedication make him uniquely qualified to serve as a board member and advocate for greatness in our schools.”

Daryl Bilandzija
LCUSD Teacher
“Having both lived almost all our lives on Green Lane, I have watched Amar Malik grow from a little guy on his bike racing around to a proud and involved family and community member. We need Amar Malik on the LCUSD Board!”

James Kambe
Long time La Canada Resident and LCHS Alumnus
“Amar Malik is a long-time supporter of educators and public schools with a wealth of experience in business, construction, and law. I am proud to endorse his candidacy for the La Canada Unified School District Board of Education.”

Telly Tse
Glendale Unified School District Board of Education Vice President
“I’ve worked with him on the PTA board and witnessed first-hand his intellect and dedication to our community. He has coached my son and daughter at baseball and softball and he dedicates countless hours to foster our kids’ growth and development. He is not seeking this position to advance himself but to make sure the voice and concerns of parents in the community are heard and addressed.”
