Welcome!

Dear Neighbor,

As a graduate of Westminster schools, it’s been an honor to serve our community as your school board member.

Four years ago, you elected me to improve student achievement and place our children’s educational needs first.

With your support, we have left divisive politics behind and have improved education by:

  • Recruiting and retaining highly qualified teachers.
  • Expanding after-school programs district wide to help our students stay off the streets and away from gangs and violence.
  • Established All-Day Kindergarten and Preppy Kindergarten.
  • Focused on teaching English, mathematics, reading, science and computer skills to prepare our students for high school, college and the global economy.
  • Extended learning time for grades 1 through 3.
  • Improved technology and safety programs.

Westminster schools are moving in the right direction, yet there is more we can do together.

We must continue to focus on teaching our students the curriculum basics, set higher academic standards, ensure our tax dollars are responsibly spent on students, improve access to science technology and art, and ensure that the quality of education our children receive is one we can all be proud to provide.

Please join Westminster Mayor Margie Rice, former Orange County Supervisor Chuck Smith, and many other community leaders in voting to re-elect Sergio Contreras.
Thank you,

Sergio Contreras
