Chalich is the most qualified

I had a son graduate from University High School, I have two daughters at Horizon Middle School, and all four of my brothers and two sisters attended Central Valley School District schools.

I’d be hard pressed to think of anyone more qualified, more knowledgeable and more invested in CVSD than Stan Chalich.

My parents, Ron and Sal Jackson, were close friends with Stan and respected him based on their shared commitment to kids, education, and The Valley.

I’ve always wanted the opportunity to write in someone I thought was most qualified for a position if I ever thought they had a chance over unpalatable candidates. This will be my first time and I’m excited because Stan is the best candidate and has a clear path to make it happen. Please vote (always), and I hope you write in Stan Chalich.
