Hello to my Fontana families and community members,
My name is Mary Sandoval and I am a lifetime resident of Fontana. I have been married to my husband Jesse for 39 years and together we have 3 adult children, 6 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I was first elected to Fontana Unified School District in November 2014. We are 5 generational family living in Fontana.
From aunts, uncles, brothers, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephew's and grandchildren, we are a proud Fontana Unified School District family.
I retired after 17 years from MTC- Inland Empire Job Corps Center in San Bernardino, CA. I was employed as an Academic Programs Training Administrator. While working at the Job Corps, I had seen a decline in literacy and numeracy of incoming students from different California school. This was one of the reasons what inspired me to run for office.
Once elected, I was so excited to understand and learn my responsibility of being a board member. I used my first year to learn and listen. I met with teachers, administrators, buyers, classified employees and many parents to understand the needs of our students and their families. Then, I started to build my plan to help those families and their students on their path to a good education.
I have and will continue to put FUSD students first in all my decisions. They are OUR future.
