Rialto Unified Honors Top Teachers, Classified Staff Advancing Student Success
Rialto Unified
and
By Manny Sandoval
Of the approximately 3,000 employees in the Rialto Unified School District has selected its top teachers and classified employees for the 20252026 school year.
Veteran classroom teachers Silk Jones, from Simpson Elementary School, and James Nava, teacher at Kolb Middle School, were selected as the District’s “Teachers of the Year.”
Additionally, for classroom support, the District also selected its “Classified Employees of the Year.” With a large list of nominees, the District selected seven employees representing a wide range of essential support roles: Olga Guerrero, Paraprofessional at Simpson Elementary; Diane Komiyama, Nutrition Services Worker III at Rialto Middle School; Wendy Moreno, Transition Case Tech at Eisenhower High School; Edith Ortiz Torres, Communications & Media Technician; Rachelle Warner, Safety
Dispatcher in Safety Services; Raymond Palacios, Lead Custodian at Preston Elementary School; and Mike Slone, WideArea Network Specialist in Technology Services.
Classified employees are staff members in non-teaching, non-administrative roles who support District operations through clerical, custodial, food service, safety, and technical assistance.
Additionally, several of the honorees were selected to advance to the San Bernardino County Schools level to be recognized by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. Both Jones and Nava were selected on the teacher side, while Moreno and Komiyama will represent the District on the classified side.
Jones was honored for her excellence as a 26-year veteran educator at Simpson Elementary School. Under her leadership, her students have consistently increased their California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) test
scores year-over-year. That growth contributed to Simpson Elementary School's recognition as a California Distinguished School in 2025 for exceptional student performance and closing the achievement gap. Her classroom is a place where curiosity is nurtured into confidence, ensuring students develop a lifelong passion for discovery.
At Kolb Middle School, Nava was honored for his 35 years of transformative mentorship. Nava is part of the team at Kolb that has twice earned State and National “Schools to Watch” honors. A pioneer of innovative learning, he developed a "Game Theory" course that is the only one of its kind in the District. Outside of the regular classroom day, Nava volunteers his time as a tutor, Chess Club advisor, and coach for wrestling and jiu-jitsu.
The District’s classified county-level representatives were honored during a ceremony at the Dorothy Inghram Learning Center office on May 12.

- Komiyama, a Nutrition Services Worker III with 30 years of experience, was honored for her precision in food safety and her personalized care for student health. Moreno, a Workability Transition Case Technician and EHS alumna, was recognized for her tireless advocacy in helping students gain the practical skills and identification necessary for post-graduation success.
The District's Human Resources team, led by Associate Superintendent Dr. Denise Ellis, oversees a comprehensive evaluation and selection procedure to annually honor these top employees with support and guidance from Superintendent Dr. Alejandro Alvarez. Candidates are nominated by peers and selected through a rigorous process. Winners were surprised at their work sites earlier this year and formally recognized at a recent Board of Education meeting.
“On behalf of our Board of Education and the entire district leadership team, I extend my deepest gratitude and congratulations to the two outstanding teachers and seven classified employees who serve our students every day,” stated Dr. Alejandro Alvarez. “Our teachers inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and help every student reach their full potential. Their commitment inside the classroom creates opportunities that change lives and strengthen our future. Equally important are our classified staff members, they are the support staff who are dedicated professionals who keep our schools safe, welcoming, organized, nourished, and running smoothly. Their work is essential to the success of our schools. Together, these honorees create the foundation of excellence that makes our district a place where students can learn, grow, and thrive. We are very proud.”
Spotlight Campus Experience as SBCCD Plans Next 100 Years
By Manny Sandoval
As the San Bernardino Community College District marks 100 years of service, student leaders at San Bernardino Valley College are raising a clear message about the district’s next century: affordability matters, but the student experience must remain at the center.
In April, students at SBVC and Crafton Hills College began campaigning for student government positions, with candidates speaking about campus engagement, food access, student support and the importance of helping students feel connected to college life.
Their campaigns come as SBCCD invites students, residents, employers and community leaders to participate in its Affordable College Survey, which will help guide how the district delivers education and workforce training over the next 10 to 20 years.
For students running for office, the survey reflects many of the conversations already happening on campus — including the need for stronger support systems, more opportunities to connect and a college experience that prepares students for life beyond the classroom.
“I think students would benefit from more basic needs resources,” said Matthew Cano, a nursing major running for student senate. Cano said students need stronger connections with people who understand their academic path and can help them navigate college more effectively.
“I think there are opportunities to build stronger connections between staff and students,” Cano said. “We aren’t as connected as a society anymore, and I feel like stronger support can help more students stay on track.”
Several candidates pointed to a
Ward 1 Candidates Set Competing Visions for San Bernardino’s Downtown, Safety, Prostitution
By Manny Sandoval
The four candidates running to represent San Bernardino’s 1st Ward outlined sharply different visions for downtown revitalization, public safety, housing, city finances and accountability during a recent candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters San Bernardino.
The forum, held at San Bernardino Valley College’s Greek Theater ahead of the June 2 primary, featured government fraud investigator Ron Alvarado, former Councilwoman and community services liaison Virginia Marquez, retail security officer Omar Williams and incumbent Councilman Theodore Sanchez.
Throughout the forum, Alvarado, Marquez and Williams pushed for new leadership in the ward, arguing that San Bernardino needs stronger neighborhood investment, improved collaboration, more accountability and a clearer plan for downtown. Sanchez defended his record, pointing to reductions in crime and homelessness, increased police staffing and affordable housing development.
the most difficult, challenging, horrendous times that our city has faced, namely the bankruptcy and the terrorist attack,” Marquez said. “As your council member, I will address homelessness, infrastructure, prostitution and rent control, but just as equally important, the revitalization of the downtown area.”
Marquez said she began walking precincts the day after Thanksgiving and has knocked on more than 1,500 doors. She said the same four issues repeatedly came up from residents: homelessness, infrastructure, prostitution and rent control.
“Being a council member will be my full-time job because that’s what it’s going to take,” Marquez said. “There’s a lot of healing that needs to take place during the next four years.”
Marquez said affordable housing remains critical and pointed to projects such as the U.S. VETS development on North E Street and Alder Square, the final phase of the Arrowhead Grove redevelopment at the former Waterman Gardens site.
recently approved community garden at SBVC as an example of student advocacy turning into action.
Jolene Ruiz, a political science and history major running for Associated Student Government president, said the garden can help address food access while creating a healthier campus environment.
“The pantry is an important resource, and the garden can help build on that by giving students access to more fresh, nutritious options,” Ruiz said. “In order to do our work and study, we have to feed our minds.”
Ruiz said the garden project carries added meaning as SBVC celebrates its centennial year.
“This is something that’s great for the school and for the students, and I can’t wait to see the six forthcoming gardens across our campus,” Ruiz said.
Annaih Estrada, a business administration major running for vice president of marketing, said her campaign is focused on improving communication, highlighting student clubs and creating more opportunities for students to build relationships on campus.
“Many people don’t really know about all the amazing clubs we have here,” Estrada said. “I want the students to feel safe, supported and like they matter.”
Estrada said community college is a place where students build confidence, friendships and professional connections, not just a place where they attend class and leave.
“We need real engagement, positivity, real friendships, real connections,” she said.

The evening turned pointed at times, particularly as candidates challenged the city’s progress and whether current leadership has done enough to address long-standing concerns in the 1st Ward. Sanchez arrived late to the forum after attending a City Council budget hearing for the 2026-27 fiscal year, briefly drawing heckling from some in attendance.
Alvarado, who described himself as a lifelong San Bernardino resident and government fraud investigator, framed his campaign around oversight, accountability and reinvestment in neighborhoods he said have been neglected.
“I am here to offer us a different vision, one rooted in accountability and investment,” Alvarado said. “As a fraud investigator, my job is to stop it. I don’t just look for mistakes. I follow the money.”
Alvarado said his professional background and education would help ensure public dollars reach neighborhood priorities, including parks, roads, cultural corridors and public infrastructure.
“I have the professional experience and the academic background to ensure that every grant dollar and every tax cent intended for our parks and our roads actually hits the pavement in our neighborhoods, not the pockets of political donors,” Alvarado said.
Alvarado said the 1st Ward has faced what he described as a “crisis of neglect and inequity,” citing fires, infrastructure concerns, blight, prostitution and human trafficking along corridors such as G and H streets. He called for stronger code enforcement, street and sidewalk repairs, investment in parks and support for arts institutions such as the Garcia Center for the Arts.
“For too long, our ward has been treated as a dumping ground,” Alvarado said. “We need representation that actually represents and fights for our ward.”
On economic development, Alvarado said the city should pursue cultural districts, stronger grant oversight and clearer expectations for developers. He also called for formal corridors that recognize the city’s history, arts community and neighborhood anchors.
“We must invest in our local agents of hope like the Garcia Center for the Arts and cultural corridors like the proposed E Street Cultural Corridor,” Alvarado said. “We must create a destination that attracts visitors and keeps dollars within our wards.”
Marquez, a lifelong 1st Ward resident and former councilwoman, leaned on her past experience in city government with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors’ 5th District.
“I have served the First Ward with pride during
“We are the county seat. We could be doing more, and I expect that we will do more,” Marquez said. “We are doing our share, but I feel we need to do a lot more.”
On downtown, Marquez said San Bernardino needs a stronger economic development strategy and a more direct focus on job creation. She said the city should be doing more to attract investment, support trades jobs and create opportunities for residents who now commute elsewhere for work.
“I plan to revitalize and modernize the downtown area to provide jobs for our residents,” Marquez said. “That’s a priority.”
Williams, a lifelong San Bernardino resident and retail security officer, positioned himself as a candidate focused on collaboration, civility and making residents feel heard.
“I grew up here. I work here in San Bernardino,” Williams said. “My plan is very simple. Let’s work together. Regardless whether we agree with each other or not, we need to make sure that we get things done.”
Williams said the City Council should move away from infighting and focus on residents. He said downtown and the 1st Ward need safer streets, stronger support for small businesses and attention to homelessness so residents and visitors feel comfortable shopping, working and investing in the area.
“We need to figure out how to promote small businesses, to actually physically promote small businesses, hype up our small businesses and do everything within our power to clean up the neighborhoods,” Williams said.
Williams also said the city should preserve historic buildings and celebrate its diversity while pursuing new growth.
“Not only are we bringing out more business and celebrating the future, we don’t forget our past either,” Williams said.
On public safety, Williams said he supports the Police Department but believes accountability and resident input are essential.
“You can praise the success, but you also have to call out the criticism or any unjust things or operations that take place within that institution, and that includes the Police Department,” Williams said. “I want to be very clear. I support our Police Department, but I believe that we need to make sure that every officer is held accountable.”
Williams also said he supports term limits for the City Council and mayor, arguing that San Bernardino needs more opportunities for new candidates and younger residents to seek office.

Rep. Aguilar
Highlights
Efforts
to
Combat
Mailbox Theft and Vandalism in the Inland Empire
Community News
On May 11, Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-33) held a press conference in front of the Redlands Post Office to highlight his efforts to combat mailbox theft and vandalism, protect mail carriers and improve public safety in the Inland Empire.
As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Aguilar secured changes to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Financial Services and General Government funding (FSGG) bill, urging the United States Postal Service (USPS) to respond to mailbox theft and vandalism more quickly and strengthen protections for consumers.
Passing through committee with bipartisan support, these changes urge USPS to notify victims of mail theft sooner so they can take immediate steps to protect their finances and personal information.
Additionally, as a co-sponsor of the bipartisan Protect Our Letter Carriers Act, Rep. Aguilar is working to strengthen protections for postal workers so they can do their jobs without fear of robbery or assault while deliver-
ing mail. You can watch the full video of the press conference here and find photos from the event above and here.
“Whether you live in an apartment building or a house, people in the Inland Empire deserve to receive their letters and packages safely and on time,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “I’ve heard from countless constituents, law enforcement and mail carriers about their frustrations with mail theft and the risks it poses to our community. That’s why I pushed for bipartisan changes in a recent funding bill to urge the Postal Service to respond faster to these problems and why I’m proud to support legislation to make it safer for mail carriers to do their jobs. I'll keep fighting for these policies until they become law so everyone in our region can send, receive and deliver mail securely and without delay.”
“Residents can help prevent theft by retrieving mail daily and as soon as possible after delivery, since mail left unattended creates greater opportunities for theft,” said Chief Rachel Tolber, Redlands Police Department. “If you are traveling or away from home, consider placing a temporary
mail hold through the United States Postal Service so your mail can be securely held until your return. And if you become the victim of mail theft, report it to your local police department as soon as possible. Timely reporting helps law enforcement identify patterns, connect related crimes, investigate and alert the community when necessary. Preventing mail theft requires a strong partnership between local police, the United States Postal Service, legislators, and the community. Awareness, prevention, and timely reporting remain some of the most effective tools we have to combat these crimes.”
“NALC appreciates Rep. Aguilar for bringing letter carriers' voice to this important event,” said Brian L. Renfroe, President, National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC). “Mail security starts with protecting the dedicated, hardworking letter carriers who deliver it. We appreciate the congressman's support of the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act (H.R. 1065), and we look forward to working with Congress on ways to protect letter carriers and America's mail.”
76-Year-Old Man Dies After Redlands Structure Fire on Wabash Avenue
By Redlands PD
One person was confirmed dead following a structure fire at a residence in the 100 block of Wabash Avenue Sunday, May 10. The Redlands Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at a single-story residence at about 5:30 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered the rear of the structure well-involved in fire and located a 76-year-old burn victim in the front driveway.
Firefighter/paramedics immediately initiated advanced life support measures while additional crews conducted fire suppression operations to the structure.
The victim was transported by firefighter/paramedics and American Medical Response ambulance crews to the hospital, where the victim later succumbed to his injuries.
Firefighters acted swiftly to contain and extinguish the fire, preventing further extension to the residence. The fire was brought under control within about 20 minutes. No other injuries were reported.
The fire remains under investigation by Redlands Fire Department investigators in coordination with the Redlands Police Department. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
Moreno Valley College Marks 35 Years With Open House Showcasing Careers, Community and Belonging
By Erick Zambrano
Moreno Valley College celebrated its 35th anniversary Saturday by welcoming the community for its third annual Open House. The campus Quad transformed into a lively hub where prospective students and families gathered to explore career paths and campus resources.
For many in the Inland Empire, higher education can feel foreign or out of reach, but the event was designed to demystify the experience and show residents they belong on campus.
The day served as both an educational showcase and a community celebration. Local barbecue and taco vendors lined the
Quad while the MVC Choir, mariachi groups and baile folclórico dancers performed for a crowd of more than 300 guests. Younger attendees stayed busy in the Kids’ Corner with inflatables, highlighting the college’s focus on supporting the entire family unit throughout the educational journey.
A major focus of the day was Career Technical Education, specifically programs that lead directly into the local workforce. MVC hosts the only community college-based dental hygiene and dental assisting programs in the immediate area.
Jennifer Riddle, a program specialist, highlighted the campus clinic, where students provide free X-rays, cleanings and exams to the public as part of their clinical
training. While the two-year hygiene program is highly competitive, preparing graduates for potential salaries of more than $100,000, the one-year dental assisting program offers a faster career path, with applications remaining open through mid-June.
Nearby, Fire Academy and EMT/paramedic teams held live public safety demonstrations, including a fire engine display and timed suiting-up presentation. These programs provide intensive, handson training for first responders who will serve the Inland Empire. Visitors also toured the campus Makerspace and library, both of which are public facilities available for community use rather than being exclusive to enrolled students.
Roosevelt Charles, vice president of student services, emphasized the importance
of wraparound support available to students outside the classroom. That includes financial aid workshops focused on minimizing student debt, legal services, mental health counseling, and assistance for students facing food or housing insecurity. The goal is to show prospective students that these support systems are in place from their first day on campus.
As the event wound down, the overall message was best captured by the campus’ “You Belong” motto. Sandra Martinez, dean of enrollment services, noted that the Open House serves as an annual invitation for the community to see the campus as its own resource. With commencement just five weeks away, Moreno Valley College is already looking toward its next group of graduates while inviting new students to start their own journeys this fall.
