R I ALTO RECORD
By Manny Sandoval
Board members of the Rialto Unified School District directly confronted public misconceptions about the district during Saturday’s Family Summit, where nearly 1,000 parents, students, and educators gathered to hear from keynote speaker Julie Chavez Rodriguez and explore new educational tools, including artificial intelligence.
The second summit of the 2025–26 academic year aimed to strengthen family involvement, celebrate student voice, and
connect the community with district resources through a college and career fair and hands-on workshops.
Chavez Rodriguez, former White House director of intergovernmental affairs and granddaughter of civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, spoke about the power of collective action and personal resilience, closing her remarks by reciting an excerpt from “Prayer of the Farm Workers’ Struggle”—a poem written by her grandfather.
“Let the spirit flourish and grow so that we will never tire of the struggle,” she read.

O“Let us remember those who have died for justice, for they have given us life. Help us love even those who hate us, so we can change the world.”
She then grounded the room with three words that continue to define the movement her grandfather helped build: “Si se puede.”
District leaders say events like the summit are essential not just for family engagement, but also for transparency in the face of skepticism.
n Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, at a Special Board of Education meeting, the Rialto Unified School District Board of Education unanimously voted 5-0 to designate Alejandro Alvarez, Ed.D., as the finalist to become the next Superintendent of the District, pending background check and approval of contract. The announcement was shared on Sunday at 2:35 p.m., after the Board of Education reconvened its open session meeting.
Dr. Alejandro Alvarez is expected to lead the Rialto USD as Superintendent, after the formal approval of the Board of Education at the Wednesday, November 12, 2025, school board meeting. The veteran superintendent brings more than 24 years of experience in public education with a deep commitment to student success.
Currently, Dr. Alvarez serves as Superintendent of Bassett
Unified School District (BUSD) located in La Puente, in Los Angeles County. Among several of his accomplishments and initiatives at BUSD are leading a district-wide effort to strengthen academic achievement, expand technology access, and build strong partnerships with families and the community.
Before his tenure in Bassett, Dr. Alvarez served as Deputy Superintendent in Compton Unified School District and Associate Superintendent in Fontana Unified School District, where he began his career as a classroom teacher and later advanced through school and district leadership roles. He earned his Doctor of Education in Urban Education and Leadership from the University of Southern California, master’s degrees from Harvard University and Azusa Pacific University, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Riverside.

Buenos Dias Café Debuts Latin Flavors in Colton Following Prolonged Permit Challenges
By Daphne Marquez
New local business, Buenos Dias Cafe invited the community to celebrate its grand opening along with a celebratory ribbon cutting presented by Colton‘s Chamber of Commerce and City Council.
The cafe, which was originally supposed to open its doors in November 2024, had to delay its opening until August 29, 2025 due to permit and resource struggles for Co-owners of the cafe, Susana Perez and Xochilt Retamoza.
Perez said, “It was really hard to open up because of permits. There was a previous business, and because it was closed down, they wouldn’t let us open up. The sinks, the walls, or just the edges had to be like a specific material, whether it was epoxy or tile. It was really hard to open up in this city and with the county and everything.”
Despite the challenges Buenos Dias Cafe has faced concerning permits, they have proven to have booming success within the community. One of the customers, Victoria Ruiz said, “Actually, I’ve been waiting for months for it to open. So it finally did, and we’ve been coming like three times a week since it opened. Their horchata latte and their chilaquiles are amazing.”
Colton’s Chamber of Commerce and City Council members were also in attendance to present the scissors for the ribbon cutting and to get a taste of what Buenos Dias Cafe was all about.
The Cafe itself is Latin inspired, the tiles, artwork, and bold colors bring together that Hispanic feel, which could give their Family owned cafe a closer connection to the majority-Hispanic community.
To add to the special occasion, Perez and Retamoza had pulled together a photobooth, jumper, a party clown, and raffles which included TVs, speakers, and more. The first 50 people who ordered drinks were given it for free, and everything ordered after that was discounted for customers.
The Party Clown for the event and announcer for the raffles, Monse Pocaspecas said, “I like my job, I like it because I have a love of socializing with people, especially with kids, because I’ve been learning a lot from them. So yeah, that’s, that’s one of the main things that I love.”
Bueno Dias Café has officially now made its mark on the community, bringing breakfast, culture, and the connection of their family owned business to Colton. The cafe is located at 1462 N La Cadena Dr, Colton.
Family Summit (cont.)
- When asked by IECN, Board Member Edgar Montes said one of the biggest misunderstandings he encounters is rooted in public perception.
“A lot of misconceptions and perceptions that may not be so positive about our district are really just that—misconceptions,” Montes said. “If you speak to the majority of our parents, the majority of our staff, the majority of our students, our district is a wonderful district.”
Board Member Evelyn P. Dominguez echoed that concern. “That we don’t care,” she said plainly when asked about the district’s most damaging misconception. “Some things have to stay confidential, and unfortunately, we cannot speak on them. Because of that, people feel like we don’t care—but we do.”
Montes added that criticism is welcome, but the district has seen growth in openness and problem-solving. “People are more willing to come forward now and share concerns and ideas about how we can improve.”
Student Board Member Audrey Gonzalez, a senior who attends Milor High School, also pushed back on public doubt. “They think that the district is not trying hard enough and that they’re not doing enough,” she said. “Honestly, they really are. They go far and beyond to help their students.”
The Family Summit also provided a platform to showcase the district’s increasing focus on innovation. Parents attended a range of workshops, including “Tech and AI Tools for Parents and Students,” which introduced them to tools such as Google Classroom, ChatGPT, and lan-
guage translation apps. Other sessions addressed financial literacy, student confidence, and college readiness.
According to district officials, Rialto is leading the region in its strategic approach to artificial intelligence. Through an AI Policy Committee of staff, students, and parents, the district has developed updates to policies on technology use, created an AI Handbook and Toolkit, and launched self-paced learning modules for educators. In November, Rialto will become the only district in the region to debut “AskRUSD,” an AI-powered chatbot to help families access district services and information instantly.
Dominguez, who helped lead the summit, said these innovations are critical for family awareness and student success. “We want to educate our parents on the new innovations for education,” she said. “We want to make sure that our students are up to date with technology so they can be college ready.” She also pointed to ongoing efforts to eliminate digital barriers. “We provide a Chromebook for every single student in Rialto and also hotspots if they need it in the home,” she said, noting that teachers are equipped to field these requests from students.
Montes said the summit’s emphasis on collaboration reflects a broader cultural shift in the district. “It’s important for us to work together and really show the children… that adults can come together from the community [and] school district to both work in partnership to better the education and lead by example,” he said. He also credited Interim Superintendent Dr. Judy D. White with helping restore trust in leadership. “She’s really giving district leaders the confidence to come forward to share
concerns and ideas for the betterment of our educational programs.”
The event follows a series of community-building efforts, including a Unity Conference held over the summer. Montes said these moments are paving the way for greater transparency and alignment moving forward. “Hopefully tomorrow, we’re going to be selecting our new superintendent,” he added, referring to an upcoming special board meeting. (That superintendent has since been selected, but pending approval)
For Gonzalez, being part of these conversations is what inspired her to run for student board member. “I love supporting others,” she said. “It’s a really big dream to help, support and just advocate for other students.”
She encouraged her peers to think big—whether that meant heading to college or learning a trade. Gonzalez hopes to study criminal justice and become a lawyer, while also pursuing tattoo artistry. “I would honestly encourage all students to go to college and at least get some experience from that,” she said.
Curt Lewis, representing Congressman Pete Aguilar’s office, praised the district’s efforts and the keynote address. “The community gave Julie a round of applause that expressed appreciation and understanding of her powerful, unifying message,” he said. “Kudos to Mr. Joseph Williams and his Family and Community Engagement team for an exceptional event.”
Dominguez said that above all, the summit’s success was measured by confidence—in students, families, and the work ahead. “Seeing outcomes,” she said, “and how my vote has impacted lives… that’s what makes this job worth it.”
November CalFresh Benefits Uncertain Amid Federal Shutdown; County Urges Residents to Stay Informed
Community News
Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, CalFresh benefits may not be available in November. Funding is currently secured through October 2025. At this time, CalWORKs and Medi-Cal benefits are not expected to be impacted. However, if the federal shutdown continues, delays may occur.
San Bernardino County’s Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) is actively preparing to assist residents and keep the community informed throughout this uncertain period.
If benefits will not be available, affected participants will receive a formal notification later this month. Receiving this notification does not mean a case is closed or that eligibility has ended. Participants are encouraged to continue meeting all mandatory reporting requirements, including submitting SAR 7 Eligibility Status Reports and completing renewals on time to ensure benefits can continue promptly when funding resumes.
The Transitional Assistance Department is working closely with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) to ensure San Bernardino County residents receive timely and accurate information. The department is also preparing to assist
customers who may have questions and will provide updates through county websites, social media and local offices as new information becomes available.
“The Transitional Assistance Department understands how essential CalFresh benefits are for families and individuals across San Bernardino County,” said Director James LoCurto. “We remain committed to providing clear, up-to-date information and assisting our residents throughout this period of uncertainty.”
Stay informed by:
Checking official updates on the San Bernardino County TAD website at
https://wp.sbcounty.gov/tad/.
Following San Bernardino County and TAD social media pages for real-time updates.
Contacting the local TAD office with any questions or concerns about benefits or eligibility.

Millions of Californians to Lose Food Assistance as Trump and Republican Shutdown Continues
Community News
Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson, Chair of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee #2 on Human Services, issued a strong statement today condemning the Trump and Republican-led federal government shutdown that is forecasted to cut off federal SNAP (CalFresh) benefits beginning November 1.
If the shutdown continues past October
31, over 5.5 million Californians, including parents, children, seniors, and lowwage workers will lose access to essential food assistance. This federal failure threatens billions in benefits that help families afford groceries and feed their loved ones as the holidays approach.
“This is a moral failure,” said Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson. “Trump and the Republicans are holding working families hostage by shutting down the government and cutting off the
food lifeline for millions. California will continue to stand up for our communities, but we cannot backfill billions of dollars stolen from our communities by the Trump Administration.”
Governor Newsom will fast-track $80 million in state funding to food banks and deploy the California National Guard in a support capacity to meet increased demand. However, the state emphasizes that these efforts cannot replace the scale of federal funding lost under this Republi-
can shutdown.
“This is not a drill. Trump’s government shutdown is literally taking food away from our kids,” said Speaker Robert Rivas. “But when Republicans fail to lead, Assembly Democrats, including Dr. Corey Jackson, will do everything in our power to help parents and seniors pay for groceries and celebrate the holidays, because it’s our job to fight for programs that put food on the table.”
Loma Linda Transplant Gives 8-Year-Old Bella Bonilla a New Heart and a Second Chance at Life
By Manny Sandoval
Eight-year-old Isabella “Bella” Bonilla returned home on July 21 after spending 15 months and 15 days hospitalized at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital awaiting a heart transplant. Her journey, filled with faith, resilience, and community, came full circle on July 6, when she received her new heart.
Bella was born with single-ventricle congenital heart disease, a rare and severe condition in which only one of the heart’s two pumping chambers develops properly. Her mother, Judith “Judy” Bonilla, learned of the condition during a prenatal ultrasound around five months into her pregnancy. From the moment of diagnosis, the family was told that Bella would likely need three open-heart surgeries to survive.
The first surgery occurred when Bella was just nine days old. Her second surgery took place when she was around four months old. During that second operation, doctors discovered that Bella’s left lung was underdeveloped and significantly weaker than her right. As a result, she was no longer a candidate for the third and final surgery in the Fontan procedure—standard for single-ventricle patients. With no further surgical options available, she was added to the transplant list in 2019.
For years, Bella waited at home. But in January 2024, when her health began to decline, Judy took her to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. After four days, the surgeon declined to move forward with a transplant, citing medical complexity. Judy recalled sitting through that conversation with a calm demeanor, but deep inside she held onto her faith. “I told them I understood, but I also said, ‘He has the last word,’” she said, referring to God. Judy pursued second opinions at UCLA and other children’s hospitals, but all declined to take Bella’s case. Then, in a remarkable shift, the original surgeon at Loma Linda reconsidered and agreed to proceed. Bella was admitted on March 21, 2024, and would remain hospitalized until a heart became available.
Being inpatient gave Bella Status 1A transplant priority, significantly increasing her chances of receiving a heart. Judy and her husband adjusted to a new reality—raising their four children while maintaining a rigorous hospital visitation schedule of five days a week for five hours a
day. “It was a huge sacrifice for our family,” Judy said. “But we did it together.”
Bella thrived in the hospital’s child-focused environment. She built strong bonds with nurses and staff, who affectionately nicknamed her “Shakira” for her love of dancing. She spent her days coloring, playing in the playroom, FaceTiming her siblings, and learning remotely. Her hospital family, including other patients like her friend Eliel, became a crucial part of her daily life.
Meanwhile, Bella’s faith remained strong. In the days leading up to her transplant, she began telling her teacher she was going to receive a heart soon. “I just know I’m getting a heart tomorrow,” she said confidently. On July 4, Judy received a voicemail from Dr. Erik Frandsen, Bella’s pediatric heart transplant cardiologist. “I have great news for Isabella,” he said. Judy immediately gathered her family. They held hands and prayed—for Bella, the donor family, the surgical team, and the journey ahead.
On July 6, Bella underwent transplant surgery, which lasted approximately nine hours. Judy described an overwhelming sense of peace throughout the operation. “I just knew God was in control,” she said. Post-surgery, Bella stunned her doctors. Though the team had prepared Judy for a long recovery—possibly with an open chest and breathing tube—Bella’s chest was closed the same day, and her breathing tube was removed the following morning. “She was already talking,” Judy recalled. “She was telling me, ‘Mom, chop chop! Hurry up!’ because she was on steroids.”
According to Dr. Frandsen, Bella’s fast recovery was exceptional but not surprising given her health leading up to the surgery. “She was in a good spot going into transplant—no severe organ damage, good oxygen levels,” he said. “She did quite well after. Being discharged in 15 days is pretty quick for a child her age and with her diagnosis.”
The transplant marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Coming home was emotional. Bella cried her first night back, longing for the nurses and her friend Eliel. She walked to the front door and said, “Take me back to the hospital—I need to say goodnight to the nurses.” She had spent nearly 500 days inside that build-
ing and had grown attached to the people who cared for her.
In gratitude, Judy and Bella organized a Rapunzelthemed celebration at the hospital. Judy decorated a room with lanterns and candy, giving cards to doctors, nurses, janitors, and even therapy dogs. “Just like Rapunzel waited in her tower for the lanterns, Bella waited for her heart,” Judy said. “We wanted to say thank you to everyone.”
Bella is now adjusting to life at home—playing outside, sleeping in her own room, and enjoying time with her siblings. Before the transplant, she had only attended in-person school for one semester and required a home nurse. Today, she is walking without assistance and continues to recover under close monitoring. She continues a strict immunosuppressant daily regimen to help her body accept the new heart and regularly visits Loma Linda for labs and checkups.
Dr. Frandsen emphasized that while transplant recipients can live active, full lives—including attending school and playing sports—they must adhere strictly to medication schedules and clinic visits. National data show an average 15 to 17 years of survival for a pediatric heart transplant, but outcomes have improved steadily. “We’ve made a lot of progress over the past 40 years,” he said, pointing to Loma Linda’s history, including Baby Moses—the first infant-to-infant heart transplant patient—who is now nearing 40 years old.
As of October 2023, 531 children in the United States were waiting for heart transplants. Dr. Frandsen, who has served at Loma Linda for 4.5 years, said Bella’s wait was one of the longest he’s seen. He stressed the importance of organ donation. “Each donor can save up to eight lives,” he said. “Bella’s story is only possible because of that one donor.”
Dr. Frandsen recommends those interested in learning more about organ donations to visit: donatelifecalifornia.org.
When asked what advice she’d give to another child going through a long hospital stay, Bella didn’t hesitate. “Don’t worry,” she said with a smile. “We have a playroom. And God is always with you.”

Voters Need to Know About Voting in This Year’s Statewide Special Election
By SB County Registrar of Voters
California has called a Statewide Special Election, for Tuesday, November 4, 2025. San Bernardino County registered voters have four ways to vote, and with expanded early voting locations, casting your ballot has never been easier.
Mail ballots, including a County Voter Information Guide, were mailed out to all registered voters on October 6. Voters are encouraged to cast their ballots early to avoid the rush on Election Day. Voters can choose from one of four different ways to vote.
1. Vote by mail. Voters can mail their ballot in the postage-paid, signed envelope. Ballots must be postmarked no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 4. Voters choosing to vote by mail should mail their ballot back early, as ballots dropped off in mail boxes on Election Day are not guaranteed to be postmarked that same day.
2. Drop it off. Voters can return their ballot using any
of the 77 mail ballot drop-off locations across the county. Ballots must be dropped off no later than 8 p.m. on Election Night, Tuesday, November 4.
3. Vote early in person. The Registrar of Voters at 777 E. Rialto Avenue in San Bernardino is now open for early voting from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday. Beginning October 30, five additional early voting locations will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily (closed Sunday, November 2):
• Town of Apple Valley Recreation Center
• Fontana Lewis Library & Technology Center
• Joshua Tree Community Center
• Ontario Conference Center
• Victorville City Hall
4. Vote at a polling place on Election Day. On November 4, polling places countywide will be open from
7 a.m. to 8 p.m. A voter’s assigned polling place can be found on the bottom of the first page of their County Voter Information Guide.
For a faster in-person voting experience, voters can check in at the roster table at any polling place or early voting location and then anonymously cast their voted mail ballot without an envelope.
“We’re ready for this Statewide Special Election and want voters to feel the same,” said Joani Finwall, San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters. “We want to make sure every voter has the information they need to cast their ballot with confidence, no matter which voting method works best for them. We are ready to deliver a smooth, secure and accessible election.”
Voters can easily access important information at Elections.SBCounty.gov, including frequently asked questions, how to register to vote, where to find their polling place or a mail ballot drop-off location, and more.
