Candidate's Statement

By Deborah L. Pacheco

Deborah Pacheco Board President, South Whittier School District

I am completing my first term on the South Whittier School Board. I am seeking reelection because I care deeply about the children of our community.

South Whittier School District has a special place in my heart. My children and I have attended here and presently my grandchildren: Isaiah - 9, Abigail - 6, and Isabelle - 5 are enrolled.

I believe each of our students deserves a quality education.

South Whittier is a dynamic school district. We have experienced many accomplishments in te last four years:

--Student test scores have improved overall,

--School Modernazation at all sites,

--Completion of the new wing at our middle school,

--Worked to ensure each school site provides a safe educational environment,

--Passed balanced budgets,

--Maintained fiscal responsibility,

--Greater parent participation,

--Enhanced before and after school programs,

--Anti-gang/grrafitti, ad drug free schools,

--Recruited and hired excellent classroom teachers.

This record of accomplishments reflects the great support from our parents,PTA, School Site Councils, teachers, administration, and community volunteers.

I ask for your vote to continue these efforts on behalf of the children and community of South Whittier.

Sincerely, Deborah L. Pacheco
