Goldberg is Jewish.[3]
LAUSD Board of Education (1983–1991; 2019—)
In 1983, Goldberg was elected to the LAUSD Board of Education, where she served for two terms. In 2019, Goldberg announced that she would be running to be a member of the Board, this time for District 5 after its previous member, Ref Rodriguez, left due to an accounting scandal. She faced Heather Repenning and was re-elected to the LAUSD's Board of Education.[4][5]

In this capacity, Goldberg served as chair of the Assembly Education Committee and drafted numerous education bills. Goldberg was the author of legislation which gave LGBT couples in California the rights and responsibilities of marriage, except for those involving income tax legislation. She was re-elected in 2002 and 2004. Term limits prevented her from seeking a fourth term.[citation needed]
