"I think that there's going to be a lot of attacks on our most vulnerable students and our most vulnerable populations," said Karla Griego, who was newly elected to replace retiring board member Jackie Goldberg. "And so we have to stand strong and lead as a district in defending our most vulnerable students, in defending all the things that we have made headway on and continue to fight for more."
"With such a large population of immigrant families, the district needs to assure the families that we're here to support them, that we're going to do whatever it takes to inform them, whether it's through immigration clinics in our communities, through faith-based organizations," said Sherlett Hendy Newbill, who will take over the seat held by George McKenna, who also is retiring. "I think that's going to be a critical piece, just to help our families feel supported, especially with the threats from the new administration."
