OSBA School Board Super Heroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Lesly Cluastro-Sanguino Board Chair I've been on the board since 2014, so 11 years. What inspired me to serve on the board was the lack of diversity. I felt that children of my culture and background were not well represented in our board at the time. To me it's important to have different views and backgrounds on the board in order to take into account all the different needs and struggles or students may have. My favorite part about being on the board is my team. I am honored to be part of a team that truly cares about the impact they have on our district. We have formed friendships that will last a lifetime. A fun face about me is I was a  school board representative when I was in high school. Umatilla School District logo
