I, Georgia Acosta, am blessed to be a Cancer Survivor. While battling this dreaded disease these past few years, my commitment to you has never wavered.
Georgia Acosta
Fact: I have attended over 85% of PVUSD meetings.
Additionally, having survived multiple surgeries and Cancer treatments, I still actively participated with the California School Board and National School Board Associations.
My primary focus has always been to benefit the students, families, employees and taxpayers of the PVUSD.
I have always had an independent voice in education with real financial accountability; protested the financial improprieties with your tax dollars; met with Congressman Jimmy Panetta advocating for funds for PVUSD; had enough intimidation and bullying being used against dissenting opinions; remained outspoken about the improper hiring practices of the PVUSD Superintendent; fought against hiring unqualified employees and non-credentialed teachers; objected to inappropriate PVUSD relationships with District Leadership/Superintendent; supported working families that need the children safely back to in-person instruction.”
Stop the Witch-hunt that could Cost Taxpayers up to $100,000!
