Steven Kofahl Board Member LAUSD Representative Mr. Kofahl has lived in the Woodland Hills/West Hills area since 1976, and even taught Math at ECR in 2 (nonconsecutive) semesters. Mr. Kofahl spent the majority of his educational career at Birmingham High School, where he taught for 30 years, including 10 years as Math Department Chair and 15 years as UTLA Chapter Chair. Mr. Kofahl is familiar with and has experience in School Based Management, Learn, Write, No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, New Math, Integrated Math, Back to Basics, and Common Core. Mr. Kofahl was also involved in Birmingham becoming a charter school, sitting on every committee and participating in the interview of almost all candidates. Mr. Kofahl also took an active role when LAUSD tried to revoke Birmingham's charter. He considers the biggest challenge at the time was getting UTLA to treat Charter School teachers as equals and not as adversaries. In addition to his time as an educator, Mr. Kofahl has been active in community service, having been the founding President of the Emerald Bay Association, a non-profit organization that has raised funds in support of Camp Emerald Bay of Catalina Island for over 40 years. He has also hired, over the course of 20 years, more than 200 of his students to work in his family's passenger boat business. Now retired, Mr. Kofahl continues to instruct in navigation and seamanship as a volunteer mate with Sea Scout Ship 16 in Marina del Rey.
