More from OxnardAs the new superintendent for Ventura County Schools, Stan Mantooth says he will be reaching out to community groups in order to hear perspectives on the educational programs administered by the County Office of Education. At the Sept. 6 League of United Latin American Citizens district meeting, members, including several local elected officials, had many questions regarding the office's ongoing efforts to address low test scores, parental involvement, anti-gang initiatives, and diversity in the hiring of administrative staff. Although LULAC does not support hiring quotas, the national Hispanic advocacy group encourages the hiring of qualified minority administrators in private and public institutions. Mantooth received high marks from all members. Gil Guevara, a member of the organization's board of directors and a founder of LULAC's Port Hueneme chapter said the Superintendent's "open and honest approach" to community input was refreshing. Guevara predicted that LULAC will have ongoing dialog with Mantooth on educational issues. Founded in 1929 and based in Washington D.C., LULAC's mission is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States through community-based programs operating at more than 700 chapters across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
