Leah Ersoylu Superwoman

We will be lucky, very very lucky to have Leah Ersoylu on the Newport- Mesa Board of Education. As every super pundit on TV says “She fills all the boxes” or as my Maine grandmother would say “She’s a very nice girl”.

She’s more than a nice girl.

You know how some of you worry about sending your kids back to school and wonder whether the district is going to keep them safe? With Leah on the board you won’t have to worry because Leah will make sure that it is absolutely safe, or make darn sure that it will be safe, before one kid steps foot on that campus.

Further, Leah will tell you everything. She will make it clear in fewer words. It will be personal and truthful. There will be no hiding inconvenient facts. Her questions will be answered because she won’t give up until they are:

Do teachers have everything they need? Check

Do we have enough custodians? Check

At what time s of the day will the classrooms be sanitized? Check

How will the high school students pass to the next class? Check

How does the restroom situation look? Check

And all the rest of everything that has to be in place before we are back.

Parents and Community who feel that you are not heard nor respected, Leah understands that. It will be different.

Here are a couple of things that would not have happened if Leah had been on the board:

The toxic smell at Estancia High School would not have sickened teachers and no one knows how many students, for years.

The Estancia pool wouldn’t have been emptied ruining the swim teams for a year; cost thousands of your dollars, and the insane contract would have been accurate and signed.

The poles at Estancia wouldn’t have been a complete disgrace and with an exorbitant cost to you.

The CdM cheating scandal would have been transparent and solved fairly.

The rats might have only vacationed at Newport Harbor High School for a day instead of hanging around for months.

The Swastika nightmare would have been handled differently and much better by the district administration, and maybe just maybe, Civics might be taught in this district.

And right about now you will be saying to yourself “is this woman nuts? Leah is only one person on the board, and she can’t do all that.

Just because she’s crazy smart (has her doctorate) , organized, Is the hardest worker I know (she has read the entire budget) and has worked for children her entire career doesn’t mean that she can run the district alone!”

Right! But she won’t be alone. There are three incredible people who will be on the board with her plus Ashley Anderson. Leah Ersoylu, Amy Peters, and Carol Crane will change this district.

Here’s the message Newport Beach and Costa Mesa:

VOTE FOR LEAH ERSOYLU!

VOTE FOR AMY PETERS!

VOTE FOR CAROL CRANE!

VOTE FOR KIDS!
