MaryAnne Margaret Avila, Ontario-Montclair School District board candidate
I pledge to dedicate myself to bring administrators, teachers, and parents together to focus on common responsibility towards a successful goal of all our children's education. I will utilize my people skills, knowledge, and effective experience to endeavor to create,re-discover and promote resolutions to solve our children's barriers to learning and especially those underserviced and displaced children with Special Educational needs.
I will work tirelessly to help create educational policies that will produce a well rounded education for all our children's intellectual development, instead of being stuck in mire of mechanical like teaching to satisfy standard tests that are not subjective assessments of any child natural abilities. Any and all schools should foster an exhilarating atmosphere for learning to each and all children. All the while, retaining the effectiveness of creativity of building blocks of sound teaching for our children's future! The preparation for higher learning starts from early elementary progressive stages of education.
Its not a secret that our Middle school dismissal hours ends at 2:30 P.M. And its no surprise most parent working hours end in most cases at 5:00 p.m. That added with commute time creates a vacuum of potential unsupervised Middle school age children where unnecessary trouble and problems occur. This will be an area of corrective challenge for me to help benefit everyone and especially for concerned parents. I also want to work to restore fair- common- sense compensatory rewards to Classified Employees for their unrecognized dedication and hard work.
I solemnly vow to you, the parents of Ontario-Montclair District,that I will always place the best and foremost interest of students and parents First!

I personally know that Mrs. Avila brings compassion, dedication, and integrity to anything and everything that she does. She WILL NOT let personal issues interfer with doing what is best for the children and the community. Her credentials speak for themselves.
