New Torrance Board Members Are Sworn In
Recently re-elected trustee and first-time school board member were sworn in as policy stewards of the Torrance Unified School District at a meeting Monday night.
Longtime school volunteer Ragins, who holds a Masters in Governance certification from the California School Boards Association, now begins her second term. Rookie trustee Lee is a former Torrance City Council member with three kids in TUSD schools and is a Torrance High grad himself.
The board also elected new officers on Monday, with Michael Ernst named president, Al Muratsuchi as vice president, and Mark Steffen the new clerk.
"This is a strong Board committed to working with the community to continue to keep TUSD a preeminent school district," Ernst said. "I greatly look forward to my role as president of this board. This district has great teachers, staff and administrators who are committed to ensuring student success. I'm honored to have the opportunity to help lead this team."
