Who is Mr. Vara and what has he done?

Teachers and principals work hard each day to honor this promise. Many barriers stand in the way. Laws, rules, and layered processes slow progress and limit impact.
As County Superintendent, Alejandro Alex Vara will lead with one clear priority:
Serve students with the greatest needs and support the educators who serve them.
Every child deserves safety, stability, and opportunity. Every educator deserves a system built to support daily work. Alex Vara brings equity focused values, deep knowledge of education law, and strong command of school finance. Alex cuts through bureaucracy and focuses on action.
