David Goldberg
CTA President
An educator for more than 25 years, CTA President David Goldberg has spent most of his career as a bilingual teacher at Murchison Elementary in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). In addition to English, he is fluent in both Spanish and sign language. Goldberg has a long history of union activism. He previously served as CTA Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer for four years each, as well as two three-year terms on the CTA Board of Directors. Goldberg aso previously served as treasurer of United Teachers Los Angeles. He comes from a long line of Los Angeles educator union leaders—he was active in the UTLA strike of 2019 just as his mother “walked the line in 1989” as a UTLA strike captain and his grandmother did during the L.A. teachers strike in the 1970s. Goldberg is currently the lead on the Community Schools movement for CTA and is passionate about helping transform schools into places where families and students can be involved in a more democratic educational experience.
