The Rialto Unified School District Board of Education elected Estefany Luis as president Thursday and completed its slate of officers as the board reorganized for the coming year.
The board moved through nominations after a brief report from closed session. Trustees discussed a historical practice of rotating officers to give all members an opportunity to serve. "La rotación ha trabajado o ha funcionado muy bien para todos nosotros," one trustee said during the discussion, urging continuity in opportunity for newer members.
After nominations, trustees recorded roll-call votes for each office. The board recorded unanimous or majority "yes" votes on the organizational motions reported during the meeting; votes were read aloud by the secretary. Following the elections, members offered congratulations and brief remarks acknowledging community support and student-focused priorities.
The reorganization concluded with the board approving the meeting agenda and moving on to presentations and the consent calendar. The board announced its next regular meeting for Jan. 15, 2025, at Dr. John Casa Luna Education Center.
