"It is my pleasure to announce my endorsement of Chris Cruz-Boone in her bid to serve as a Trustee for the Bakersfield City School District. I have known Chris since she was 6 years-old attending Mt. Vernon Elementary. Despite a challenging childhood, Chris was always a stand out student who volunteered for many school projects and activities. She has described me in the past as a father-figure and mentor to her throughout her childhood. As a former member of BCSD’s Superintendent’s Advisory Cabinet and School Site Council President, I know that Chris brings quality leadership to the very school district from which she is a product of. She’s a 1st generation college grad who achieved a doctorate’s degree despite the challenges she faced as a young girl. You’ve got my support Dr. Chris Cruz-Boone."
