Yadranka Draskovic for ESUSD

If you were in Hermosa this morning you would have seen a bunch of people dressed up as Santa. No, it wasn't a joke, it was a fundraiser for Mychal's Learning. Great organization that offers programs for children with disabilities here in the South Bay. I'm happy to support!

Dear friends and supporters,

More than a week has passed after elections, and we are still seeing ballots trickle in. Even though the count is not final, it seems that I won’t be joining the school board.

Who would have guessed that the school board race could turn so hateful and vindictive. As El Segundo stands against hate, a short time ago I was mischaracterized, misquoted and called nasty names on social media. But good and truth will always prevail over ugliness and vitriol. The wonderful support I received from the community was far more important.

Regardless of how this plays out, I still remain committed to supporting students and parents. As I’ve said before, parents should be heard and involved in their child’s education. Sadly some stakeholders feel differently.

In the meantime I am attaching a video that you may find interesting. All the best to you.

Beautiful sunny day after the rain in our small town. Love the bright blue sky and the crispness in the air. Lots of good reasons to remain hopeful!
