Hello Everyone,My name is Mercy Peña, and I am running for Trustee Area C for Greenfield Union School District, in Bakersfield CA. My vision will be focused on 3 key areas:

First, let’s talk about academic performance. As a trustee, I will ensure that we use data-driven strategies to measure and improve our students' academic achievements. It's not just about numbers; it's also about making education IMPORTANT and ensuring that each child succeeds at their grade level. Education transparency is also essential. Parents and guardians have a right to understand what is happening in our schools. I will persevere to create clear communication channels between the school district and our GFUSD families.Additionally, I am passionate about making ESL(English as a second language) students a top priority. Our community is wonderfully diverse. This is not just about language; comprehension is just as valuable to opening doors to a brighter future for every child.Parental involvement and encouragement is key for students thriving. I will Inspire parents to be active participants by creating a welcoming school environment.I'm asking for your VOTE and support to become your next Trustee. Together, let's agree to create a successful future for our children.Go GREENFIELD!Thank you
