In the months following, the district made plans to sharply trim expenses. As school officials worked to peel back expenditures, they aimed to preserve those newly developed learning systems. Then in March, the COVID pandemic forced shutdowns of schools across the country, leaving them scrambling to upload instruction to online platforms.
At that time, Vista officials said they were prepared for that unexpected switch because of the years spent investing in new learning systems and educational technology. This fall, the district developed a Vista Virtual School option for families that prefer remote learning, and Vista Classic School, which will resume some on campus classes starting Oct. Smithfield, 64, is a retired teacher who taught in classrooms for 30 years and has lived in the district for 27 years.
Smithfield taught at Beaumont, Mission Meadows and Grapevine elementaries. In addition to her school board seat, she has held positions as the vice president for the Vista Teacher Association, and served on the state council for the California Teachers Association. We have built our early childhood education program to help close the achievement gaps and I stand strong on building equity.
Faust, 55, has worked for the district for 30 years as a fiscal services technician, and has served on the local support staff for several years, he said.
He has lived in North County for 34 years, and within Vista Unified for a year and a half. He said his goals are fiscal responsibility, equity and oversight of the recent Prop LL school bond measure. The district needs to invest in students, he said, and continue construction of updated facilities. I believe with my financial background I can try and help the district get back to a solid foundation with healthy reserves.
Vargas, who was elected in , attended Vista schools as a child, and is one of nine siblings who have attended school in the district. He graduated from Cal State San Marcos, where he was the first student from the campus to serve on the state university board. Vargas, 28, works as an organizing represenative for the Service Employees International Union , and previously worked as a kindergarten teacher. We will get through this pandemic and we need experienced leadership that puts students first.
I will continue to advocate for more funding for education, work on a plan to address the learning loss our students face during this pandemic and focus on the modernization of our schools. In Trustee Area Number 5, incumbent Rich Alderson is not running for re-election, leaving the seat open to three candidates.
He has three children in school in Vista Unified, and has lived in the area since , shortly after he and his wife immigrated to the U. All three of his children attended elementary school at Casita Center, where he has volunteered weekly and served on the PTA and school site council, he said. I want to make sure we return to school as soon as possible.
