Jocelyn Vargas, Trinidad Redondo and Jesus Gonzales were sworn in as members of the Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Trustees during the board’s March meeting. Each took the oath of office administered on the dais and then signed oath paperwork.

The oath ceremony was completed individually. After the swearing-in, board members posed for photographs with family members in the meeting room.

Following the oath, newly sworn members offered short remarks of thanks. Trinidad Redondo and Jesus Gonzales each thanked the community for their support and pledged to continue working with schools and families. Jocelyn Vargas, previously serving as vice president, thanked family members and community supporters and said she was humbled by the opportunity to continue serving.

The swearing-in took place before the board moved to other agenda business, including closed session. The superintendent and staff guided the procedural elements for the oath and collection of signatures.
