The San Diego Unified school board says goodbye to its first-ever student member and welcomes two new ones.
When asked about her specific commitments in the coming year, she said, “Dismantling discriminatory grading policy and dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline. Also, ensuring that students regardless of their race, their gender are not just treated equally but equitably within our school district.”
“If I were to fill out a form, I would say I’m Chinese Filipino, I’m a bisexual man and I’m a student, but I’m more than that,” said Matthew Quitoriano, 14, the other new school board member. He is an incoming sophomore at San Diego High School. Quitoriano, like his fellow board member Nepomuceno, is a person of color committed to representing marginalized communities and all students across the district.
He said, “The school literally gets paid based on our attending, based on us. The focus is on the students here, not the staff and not the administration. While they are important, it’s on the students.”Patterson is off to Duke University in the fall with a full-ride scholarship. He reflected on his term with the board with one more reminder of why he fought so hard for student representation.
“Youth are really powerful when we unite,” Patteron said, “and rather than looking at us as people that need to learn so much more before we can make a difference. I would challenge people to remember that we have the lived experience of our school system.”
