The Los Angeles Unified School District has begun researching a potential ballot measure that would allow for non-citizens residing in the district to vote in school board elections.

The operative reasoning is "We have already made N feeble concessions, so let's just make another feeble concession":

They “pay local and federal taxes. They own property. They operate businesses. They volunteer in schools and contribute in countless ways to our communities, yet they currently can’t choose their voice on the school board,” said Gonez, according to LAist.

The only concern is that information gathered from registering voters might end up with ICE:

“That’s always a concern of ours, I think, be it with this situation or with any information that our community members give to any government entity. Our primary concern is what are the legal protections behind it, so that ICE does not have access to it,” Magana said.

... potential ballot measure...

This means voters in that part of Los Angeles County would have to approve voting by non-citizens, and that signature gathering to qualify the ballot measure for the ballot has not begun (if the ballot measure has even been drafted).
