A Message from LelaI am honored to be serving my fourth term as your District 24 Representative. My roots in the community span over three decades teaching in Phoenix Union Schools. Growing successful individuals and a strong community has been my life's work. I am proud of the progress we have made. Serving on the Phoenix Union High School District Governing Board has provided me many opportunities to promote student learning and strengthen our neighborhoods. However, there is much more work to be done. Our schools are starving for state support, and too many high school graduates are unable to afford higher education. We have one of the highest rates in the country for children who are in out-of-home care due to abuse and neglect. Our rights are under attack. Serving on the Phoenix Union High School District Governing Board has provided me with many opportunities to successfully promote student learning and strengthen our neighborhoods. However, there is much more work to be done. Our public schools are starving for state support. Too many high school graduates are unable to afford continuing their education at state universities or community college. We have one of the highest rates in the country for children who are in out-of-home care due to abuse and neglect. Our rights and the rights of our children and grandchildren are under attack. During my time representing you in the Arizona House, I joined Democrats to pass bipartisan legislation giving healthcare to 30,000 children whose parents work, but don't receive insurance through their employer. We also restored funding for public schools that provide career and technical training to students, schools that focus on giving our kids a strong start when they join the workforce or continue in post-secondary education. I want to continue to represent you and ask for your support in building a strong community.
Thank you, |
