SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF.—As the five-person race for the open seat on the San Bernardino City Unified School District Board of Directors heats up, Mikki Cichocki is drawing endorsements from teachers, school administrators andstudents. They cite her caring leadership, independence, and intent to get input and feedback from all concerned stakeholders in Board deliberations and initiatives.
“Mikki is an experienced educator who has worked with students, teachers, administrators, parents and community members,” said retired San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Herb Fischer. “She has a history of being focused on students and independent in her decisions and actions.”
Cichocki said, “I want to give back to the community that raised me. I realized that I had the desire to serve as well as the experience in this district to understand what students and staff need and have experienced these past three years. We need a board that is focused on our students and their school experience.”
Cichocki is convinced that all members of the SBUSD must have their voices heard and that certainly includes parents. Decisions about funding and setting priorities need to be aired and discussed openly with a view to reaching a consensus on actions to take.
