Dear Perris ESD Community, as we have entered this month for school board appreciation, on behalf of our entire district, I am honored to extend our heartfelt gratitude for our School Board Trustees, as we recognize their unwavering dedication, remarkable teamwork, and steadfast commitment to our school communities. Their leadership and collaborative spirit exemplify what it means to serve with passion and purpose. Through their willingness to go above and beyond, they continue to ensure that our District remains focused on our mission of fostering belonging, inspiring leadership, and ensuring success for every student, staff, and family member of our community. Their decisions reflect a deep understanding of the diverse needs of our District, and their efforts have made a real difference in creating environments where everyone feels valued, supported, and inspired to thrive. Their tireless advocacy, thoughtful guidance, and enduring support are the foundation of our progress and success. We are incredibly fortunate to have a School Board Team that not only leads with integrity, but also listens with empathy, and acts with conviction. Please help me thank our Board Trustees for being champions of education, advocates for equity, and true partners in building a brighter future for our Perris ESD schools and families.
