Vanessa Sans Kattebek, a teacher at Phoebe Hearst Elementary and second vice president of the Sacramento City Teachers Association, used a public comment to mark Hispanic Heritage Month and to highlight the Poderosas mural project that celebrates nine Chicana and Latina leaders.

"On behalf of Sac City Unified and SCTA, I'd like to wish you a happy Hispanic Heritage Month," Sans Kattebek said. She described the Poderosas mural project as honoring "those who have engaged in social justice and advocacy in the Sacramento Valley region." She directed listeners to the project website, saying, "To learn more about the Poderosas mural project, visit the website satpoderosas.org, where you can find out more about the mural subjects and also where it can be viewed currently."

Sans Kattebek summarized biographical details about one of the mural subjects, Yvette G. Flores. According to her remarks, Flores is a "national and international consultant on cultural humility, prevention and treatment of trauma and gender, migration and mental health" and has served "as a professor of psychology in Chicana/Chicano studies at UC Davis for the past 33 years." Sans Kattebek added that Flores is "currently a division president for the Society for Community Research and Action of the American Psychological Association."

Sans Kattebek also said Flores' research "promotes family well-being in rural California communities and examines the mental health impact of migration on Mexican men," and noted Flores was "co-investigator of a National Science Foundation institutional transformation grant to increase the numbers of Latinas in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine careers." The public comment linked the mural project to local education and cultural recognition during Hispanic Heritage Month.

The public comment did not propose any board action or formal district policy change; it was informational and celebratory in tone. The speaker encouraged community members and educators to use the website to learn more about the mural subjects and viewing locations.
