Dear Editor:
I am writing to express my strong support for Paola Maldonado-Padilla as she seeks re-election to our Turlock School Boards. Raised in Turlock, Paola is not only a dedicated and invested member of our community but also a mother of five, four of whom are special needs. Her personal experience as an advocate for her children and others speaks volumes about her commitment to ensuring every child in our district receives the support and education they deserve.
Paola’s mission is clear: She champions a student-centered approach that tailors education to meet the unique needs and abilities of every child. Her dedication to fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment means that all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to thrive.
Furthermore, as a passionate advocate for parents, Paola believes that parents should feel empowered, supported, and informed in their children’s education. She is committed to ensuring that parents are not limited but instead have a strong voice in the school system and are fully aware of their rights and those of their children.
Additionally, Paola’s leadership has been instrumental in supporting our teachers and staff, making sure that they have the resources and professional development needed to excel. She understands that a thriving school district is built on the collaboration of teachers, parents, and students, and she is dedicated to maintaining support, transparency, accountability, and trust within our community.
As we look to the future of our schools, I believe Paola Maldonado-Padilla is the right choice to continue leading our district. Her vision for equality and excellence in Turlock is one that I wholeheartedly support. I urge you to cast your vote for Paola Maldonado-Padilla so that we can continue building a district in which every child has the opportunity to succeed.
