And while that is true for many, the reality for some of our students is very different. This edition of our newsletter is dedicated to telling the stories of students who have overcome tremendous obstacles in their lives. Thousands of our students are from families living below the poverty line. Hundreds arrive at high school for the first time not speaking English. We have students who come from homes where domestic violence is com- mon. Others’ parents are field workers whose grueling schedules and hard work leave little time for support with school. And a few of our stu- dents are homeless. The students profiled in this newsletter all have one thing in common: Superintendent: fierce determination. They have achieved extraordinary accomplishments Penelope DeLeon despite the odds against them. They are winning major scholarships, earning our highest honors and giving back to their communities. As their superintendent, I could not be prouder. I know I speak for our entire faculty and staff when I say to them: You inspire us. We also profile our great OUHSD alumni in this newsletter. We stand on their shoulders, because they paved the way for our success. Our esteemed alumni include the Chief of Police in Oxnard; the leader of one of our county’s biggest non-profit organizations and an assistant principal in one of our high schools. There are stories from many others- some of whom recently graduated our schools and are on to college. The accomplishments in this school year have been many- indeed, we began the first of our safety and security im- provements from the $350 million school facilities bond. Though our district and schools continue to set the bar for excellence, we wanted to dedicate this edition of our newsletter to the individuals who demonstrate the strength of the human spirit and remind us why we do what we do every day.

Most of the girls resting, sleeping or on the phones in the back seats. Not Gab- by Jose. “I’m up there in the front seat talking to coach,” she said. Gabby is a lively, talented senior at Camarillo who has continued the Scorpions’ long run of successful girls and boys wrestlers. She won the CIF-SS Girls Wrestling Northern Division Championships in February and advanced to the state tournament. She had to do it because a member of last year’s team told her (jokingly), “You’re going to make it to state or I’m going to beat your (bleep).” Whatever the motivation, Gabby realized the dream through hard work and determination. Last summer, she dedicated herself to more training and more running. The coaches at Camarillo helped drive her success. And now she helps them on the drive home from meets. But Gabby is about more than wrestling. She is all about creative writing, photography, persuasive writing and history. She’s particu- larly proud of a piece she wrote about immigration. After high school, she plans to attend San Diego State or UC Davis. Her love of sports and school have helped her with time management because she couldn’t do it all without using her time well. Her family sup- ports her. “When I first got into wrestling, my dad was supportive, and my mom was like, ‘You’re going to get hurt.’ But now they are always behind me.” Ultimately, she would like to study abroad and perhaps even teach abroad. Phillip Cooksey, Phillip Cooksey can’t tell you what he will be doing five years from now, but he can tell you he will be working on a problem. One of the most celebrated graduates from Adolfo Camarillo High School recently earned his PhD at Carnegie Mellon after doing his under- graduate work at Cal State Monterey Bay. Asked what he is going to do with this tremendous education, Phillips pauses a long time before answering, “I’ll be trying to look for what problem I would like to work on.” He has researched the roles of underwater vehicles and thinks it would be useful to have them explore the ocean floor, the currents, pollution in the ocean and how climate change is affecting all of this. But there’s also the research he has done on artificial intelligence and the creation of a robot soccer team. Phillip was a typical Camarillo kid growing up in the small town, riding bicycles with his friends and hiking in the hills and mountains nearby. At ACHS, he received lot of direction on careers from the Regional Occupation Program. He went to CSUMB to pursue a de- gree in computer science and Information technology and helped pay his way by working in the IT department on campus. Through his college career he did research on autonomous underwater vehicles and their ability to track and follow underwater cliffs. In the summer of his junior year, he accepted an undergraduate research position in the Robotics Institutes Summer Scholars (RISS) program at Carnegie Mellon University. There, he worked with Dr. Paul Scerri in the Cooperative Robotics Watercraft lab and devel- oped a computer vision algorithm on an Android phone to detect spherical targets and used the detection algorithm along with a sim- ple controller to navigate small airboats into what would one day be charging stations. Philip graduated from CSUMB in 2014 with a B.S. in Computer Science and Information Technology with a concentration in Software Engineering and with a minor in Mathematics. He was awarded the Provost’s Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement during graduation and was accepted into the PhD pro- gram at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA. His academic research and career have taken him to presentations in Spain, Portugal and Vancouver. After successfully defending his dissertation in April, he was hood- ed in May at Carnegie Mellon. What’s next? “The interview pro- cess is as much about them inter- viewing me as me interviewing them.” He’s certain there will be numerous turns in his career as “our rapid pace of change in sci- ence and technology does not have a long trajectory. That’s how I see my future. Solving a lot of problems in different areas.” 4 Adriana Diaz, At the end of a speech at Channel HIGH SCHOOL Islands High School in which she talked about her past and future plans, Adriana Diaz slipped into a language that most of the audience did not understand.

  • A History of Mexican Workers on the Oxnard Plain 1930-1980
    LABOR, MIGRATION, AND ACTIVISM: A HISTORY OF MEXICAN WORKERS ON THE OXNARD PLAIN 1930-1980 By Louie Herrera Moreno III A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chicano/Latino Studies 2012 ABSTRACT LABOR, MIGRATION, AND ACTIVISM: A HISTORY OF MEXICAN WORKERS ON THE OXNARD PLAIN 1930-1980 By Louie Herrera Moreno III First and foremost, this dissertation focuses on the relationship between labor and migration in the development of the City of Oxnard and La Colonia neighborhood. Labor and migration on the Oxnard Plain have played an important part in shaping and constructing the Mexican working-class community and its relationship to the power structure of the city and the agri-business interests of Ventura County. This migration led to many conflicts between Mexicans and Whites. I focus on those conflicts and activism between 1930 and 1980. Secondly, this dissertation expands on early research conducted on Mexicans in Ventura County. The Oxnard Plain has been a key location of struggles for equality and justice. In those struggles, Mexican residents of Oxnard, the majority being working- class have played a key role in demanding better work conditions, housing, and wages. This dissertation continues the research of Tomas Almaguer, Frank P. Barajas, and Martha Menchaca, who focused on class, race, work, leisure, and conflict in Ventura County. Thirdly, this dissertation is connected to a broader history of Mexican workers in California. This dissertation is influenced by important research conducted by Carey McWilliams, Gilbert Gonzalez, Vicki Ruiz, and other historians on the relationship between labor, migration, and activism among the Mexican working-class community in Southern California.

She is the first woman of color and the first woman Certified Public Accountant (CPA) elected to the position. The State Treasurer’s Office was created in the California Constitution in 1849. It provides financing for schools, roads, housing, recycling and waste management, hospitals, public facilities, and other crucial infrastructure projects that better the lives of residents. California is the world’s fifth-largest economy and Treasurer Ma is the state’s primary banker.

The Treasurer works closely with the State Legislature to ensure that its members know the state’s financial condition as they consider new legislation. She gives her own recommendations for the annual budget. Treasurer Ma was a member of the State Assembly from 2006-2012, serving as Speaker pro Tempore from 2010 to 2012.

  • Measure a – Oxnard Union High School District
    Measure A – Oxnard Union High School District Impartial Analysis by County Counsel* Measure “A” was placed on the ballot by the governing Board of the Oxnard Union High School District. Under the Constitution, school districts may issue general obligation bonds if approved by at least 55% of the District’s voters. A “Yes” vote on Measure A would permit the District to issue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $350 Million for improvements and repairs to be made to the following District schools: Adolfo Camarillo, Channel Islands, Condor, Frontier, Hueneme, Oxnard, Pacifica, Rio Mesa, and Rancho Campana, as well as to Oxnard Adult School, including repairs to roofs, plumbing, electrical wiring, and air conditioning. Bond proceeds could also be used for construction of a new high school in Oxnard. According to the District’s Tax Rate Statement, Bonds would issue at legal rates estimated at $0.0278 per $100 of assessed valuation (i.e., $27.80 per $100,000 of assessed value) with a maximum legal rate of $0.03 per $100 ($30 per $100,000 of assessed value). The District’s Assistant Superintendent estimates that the total debt service, including principal and interest, that may be required to be paid if all the bonds are issued and sold is $625 million.
