Celebrate Academic Excellence
Greetings Fellow Democrats,
For decades, our club has proudly hosted nonpartisan candidate forums. Last month was no exception. Both the Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) School Board and City Council forums were well attended, respectful and civil. For the first time, we live-streamed and recorded the events for those who could not attend.
We must continue our focus on electing the best school board candidates! There is a stark contrast in their viewpoints – some depict an appalling performance and dysfunctional school system while others hold a more optimistic view of the achievements of our students and teachers. Take caution in the rhetoric of some wishing to reiterate old topics like CRT, Tortilla-Gate, mask mandates, and personal pronouns, and who spread culture war misinformation simply to motivate their base to “demand change.” Read their biographies and, more importantly, their answers to questions and previously written statements. Listen to their public comments at previous school board meetings! It’s time to call them out!
It is time to acknowledge that during the pandemic, educators and students encountered unprecedented challenges while adapting to a surreal virtual experience to teach, motivate, learn, and grow as a team. The district demonstrated its commitment to the well-being of all students while evolving and adopting teaching strategies as the pandemic presented its unique challenges to all of humanity.
Here are some examples of CUSD’s thriving academic excellence:
- CUSD Celebrates Rare 'Perfect' Score on Advanced Placement Exam
- CHS Student Graham Bower Selected For CIF Student Athlete Advisory Committee
- COSA Alum Kendall Becerra Wins National ‘Jimmy’ Award For Best Actress

Help Get Out The Vote! Continue talking with family, friends, and neighbors about the urgency to vote wisely! It is our responsibility to elect candidates who clearly see the importance of creating stronger schools, stronger programs, and are desirous to work as a team -- not as the ones who will destroy what is magnificent with precarious educational agendas and fear-based views. The school Board of Trustees will always have concerns and improvements to address; it’s their responsibility. Let’s continue to work together with civility and respect, building positively impactful changes toward a stronger public education for all our students!
Let’s help students continue to enjoy and benefit from all the wonderful school programs available to them! We must all work together with the school board and call out those who spread toxic misinformation about a false reality. Let’s show our future civic leaders that we are proud of our nation’s fundamental strength, Public Education!
To All Our CUSD Students,
Onward, brilliant minds! We value your hard work and honor the promise that you represent to our nation and a better tomorrow! We stand with you and beside you!
Respectfully,
Marely Ramirez
