Salida Union School District
Board of Trustees

Salida Union School District welcomes our newest Board Trustee, Mrs. Maria Elena Magana.  Trustee Magana will serve Area #3 in Salida.  

A message from Trustee Magana:

Dear Salida Union School District Family:

I have lived in Salida as a young child and most of my adult life, I am a product of Salida schools as well as my children and grandchildren. My husband and I have been married for 36 years and have raised 3 children.  We currently have 4 grandchildren. 

I first started my career working in education at 18 in a program that provided in-school support to migrant students.  During that time, I developed a call to education.  My experience encompasses over 28 years in education in a variety of positions.  I have had the opportunity to work with students from pre-school age to high school, providing for the educational and social needs of students.

These experiences have allowed me to develop an understanding and sensitivity for diverse multicultural, multiethnic, and low social-economic students and families. 

I support quality education for all students by supporting and improving District and State standards and expectations.  I look forward to collaboratively work with parents, teachers, staff, and administrators throughout the district. I am committed to maintaining excellence in education. I will be committed to working hard and contributing productively as a member of the School Board.
Sincerely,

Maria Elena Magana
