Managed Growth Means Investing in Our Schools and Our Future

As your representative, I, Mitzy Perez, firmly believe that strong, well-supported schools are the cornerstone of a thriving and sustainable community. My own journey—from arriving in California as a young immigrant overcoming language barriers, to becoming a first-generation college graduate—demonstrates the power and importance of dedicated teachers and targeted educational resources.

I am committed to ensuring that our community's growth is thoughtful and managed. This means partnering proactively with developers and new businesses to ensure schools are built alongside new homes, shopping centers, and commercial developments. As Los Banos grows, so must our capacity to educate and support our children. Proper planning ensures that every neighborhood has access to quality schools equipped to meet the needs of all students, including those requiring specialized instruction, language programs, and advanced classroom technology.

Investing in education through managed community growth is not just about funding; it's about fostering collaboration and strategic planning that empower the next generation. Together, we can create an environment where students have the tools they need to succeed, and our community can grow responsibly, preserving our city's character while enhancing its future.

Let's build schools, neighborhoods, and commercial spaces that reflect our shared vision for Los Banos—a city prepared for tomorrow's opportunities.
