By Jennifer Hall Lee, President of the PUSD Board of Education, and Superintendent Elizabeth Blanco, Ed.D.

Over the last year, we have spoken with hundreds of community members, listening carefully to their questions and concerns. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration and the support and trust you’ve shown this district.

We are especially pleased that we were able to have a dialogue with community members about our district’s strengths, the district’s needs, and the process we used to find a solution to meet those needs. That dialogue will continue.

Finally, we want to reiterate what we have said before: we are committed to finding ways to protect the educational priorities of the district and to make the most of every single dollar invested by residents in their schools.

Thanks to your support, we continue raising the bar for our schools and our students to achieve their full potential.   Thank you for partnering with us to build a stronger, brighter future for our schools and our community
