The Galt Joint Union Elementary School District (GJUESD) Board of Education meeting on May 25, 2025, highlighted significant changes within the district's leadership and community support initiatives.
One of the most notable announcements was the upcoming retirement of Claudia del Toro Anguiano, the Director of Human Resources and Curriculum, who has dedicated 33 years to the district. Her contributions over the past decade, along with her previous roles as a site administrator and bilingual resource teacher, have made a lasting impact on the community. The board plans to formally recognize her and two other retiring administrators, Cleo, Jennifer Porter, and Laura Papineau, during the June meeting, celebrating their years of service and leadership.
Additionally, Leanne Johnson, who has served in the district's food and nutrition programs for 20 years, will also retire. Her work has touched nearly all school sites, ensuring students received essential nutrition throughout her tenure.
The meeting also acknowledged a generous donation from Fair Sight Elementary Westside, LCC, which contributed books valued at $223 for classroom use. This initiative, driven by the school's principal, Miss Marquez, involved teachers selecting titles to enhance their classroom libraries, demonstrating community engagement and support for educational resources.
These developments reflect the district's commitment to honoring its dedicated staff while fostering community partnerships that enrich the educational experience for students. As the board prepares for the upcoming recognition ceremony, the focus remains on ensuring a smooth transition and continued support for the district's educational mission.
