Moreno Valley School Trustee Named President-Elect of California School Boards Association

The California School Boards Association (CSBA) Delegate Assembly last month named a Moreno Valley school board trustee as the organization’s president-elect. Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD) school board member Jesús M. Holguín was one of four new officers chosen to help lead the organization by more than 300 delegates who represented the association’s over 5,500 governance team leaders from K-12 school districts and county offices of education in the state. Since May 2010 Holguín has served on CSBA’s Board of Directors and also acted as a member of the Delegate Assembly for eight years, from 2002 to 2010. He brings with him 28 years of extensive experience in the Business Advisory Services Department with the San Bernardino County Office of Education. In the past, he's served as president of the Riverside County School Boards Association, president of the Moreno Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for two years, and as a board member of ACCESS to the Future. Currently Holguín serves as the treasurer for the California Latino School Boards Association. "This is a great honor and I am very excited to have this opportunity," he said. "The [California School Boards Association] is a state-wide organization that represents over 5,000 school board members and 1,000 school district and county offices, so to have this opportunity is very important and is a great honor." Holguín has many goals he's set out to reach with the help of his colleagues while in this position, including keeping kids in school. "Our target is a 100 percent graduation rate," Holguín said. "We also want to make sure that the state of California is at a high (education) level nationwide, and that the federal government pays attention to the needs of our students." Holguín said he got involved with the Moreno Valley Unified School District when his daughters first entered school. "I started looking at the needs of the students and the local parents. What I want for my daughters is what I want for every student," he said. "I wanted to contribute to my community through the educational system." Holguín is joined as a CSBA leader by three additional new CSBA officers: Josephine "Jo" Lucey, a Cupertino Union School District board member, as CSBA president; Chris Ungar, who has represented Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz counties on the CSBA Board of Directors since 2007, as vice president; and Cindy Marks, a longtime member of the Modesto City Schools Board of Education in Stanislaus County, is now serving as Immediate Past President. Holguín lives in Moreno Valley with his wife and three daughters.
