OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Veronica Gutierrez Board Advisor I have been a part of the board for nine years. I was inspired to serve on the board because I wanted to involve myself more in my children's education and in our community. Being part of the school board has done both for me. My favorite thing about being on the board is the pride in my children's faces when they say my mom is on the school board. A fun fact about me is I want to go on a cruise but I'm also scared of the water. Umatilla School District Logo

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Travis Eynon Board Member I have been on the board for 15 years What inspired me to serve on the board was a desire to serve my community in a meaningful way. I liked the idea of putting partisan politics aside and always striving to do what is best for the children and the community we serve. A fun fact about is I am so bad at texting. I have the worst time with types etc...  Umatilla School District logo

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
