Too few political campaigns at any level, for any office, offer the unique combination of credentials that can be found in the small community of the Perris Elementary School District in southern California. Unlike the majority of those who will be seeking political offices next week, occasionally there is one whose qualifications are tailor-made to fit the job description. Even more rarely do the education, experience and lifelong commitment reflect the values and circumstance of his constituency. Almost never does a candidate subordinate rhetoric to a specific plan for identifying the root causes of specific problems and offer step-by-step milestones on a Road Map to specific solutions.

In a tiny, tight-knit, educational system of something less than 6,000 students, Dr. Norman Quintero has addressed fundamental issues behind, and real solutions to, an underperforming PESD. Previously, he has addressed the fundamentals of accountability, resource allocation, absenteeism, increased revenues and after-school programs with a focus on tutorials, recreational activities and social development. Dr. Quintero believes that a school board should support its dedicated teachers and involve its kids’ parents in order to motivate and educate its students.

“Almost 20 years ago, ‘No child left behind’ was a federal program that sounded good but accomplished little. I am committed to reviving those ideals on a local level. Now that I have received the endorsements from the general public of both major political parties, I will reach out to parents and teachers as well. I am confident that together we can provide individual attention and individual opportunity to every one of our individual students. That is our challenge and our obligation” Dr. Norman Quintero

Dr. Norman Quintero, Candidate for Perris Elementary School Board, District 5

Dr. Quintero shares a common culture and background with local families. With a student body to whom English is a second language and whose nutrition is almost entirely subsidized by governmental agencies, he understands and appreciates the value of a responsive public education system in creating students’ successes.

As a professional educator, counselor and mental health expert, he has devoted his life and career to improving lives. As a social advocate and successful businessman, he has achieved a proven talent for the management, and maximizing the efficiency of, limited budgets.

As the father of eight children, he fully understands that every child is born with individual challenges, talents and potential – their success in life requires a coordinated effort, on a daily basis, among teachers, parents, administrators and the students themselves. “Every child” certainly includes those who are entitled to a systemic accommodation for “special education” and “special needs.”

In publishing his fifth of six Road Map landmarks, the candidate has stated, “Almost 20 years ago, ‘No child left behind’ was a federal program that sounded good, but accomplished little. I am committed to reviving those ideals on a local level. Now that I have received the endorsements from the general public of both major political parties, I will reach out to parents and teachers as well. I am confident that together we can provide individual attention and individual opportunity to every one of our individual students. That is our challenge and our obligation.”

Perris Elementary School District: ‘Students, Teachers & Parents Deserve Solutions’

“Perris Elementary School District is failing its faculty & families,” says candidate for school district

PERRIS, Calif., October 21, 2018 (Newswire.com)

The following is an open letter from Dr. Norman Quintero, candidate for the School Board of the Perris Elementary School District.

Our educational system is in crisis. Dedicated and highly-qualified faculty, hard-working students and involved parents are performing miracles against impossible odds. Nationwide, the average number of students per teacher is 16. The size of a PESD classroom is 24, about 11 of which are English Learners and as many as 5 will be absent on any given day. In our district, almost half the students are being taught math, history or science in a language that is foreign to them. Obviously, in our district, more kids need individual attention and specialized instruction. In our district, educators have less time and resources to provide the necessary opportunities to performing their jobs as successfully as possible.

We can motivate our students, support our teachers, involve our parents, reduce absenteeism, enhance the quality of this basic level in the learning experience and increase resources by creating mentor/tutorial programs, social and athletic activities outside of school hours. The recruitment of community volunteers, non-profit organizations and business sponsors will make our campuses a destination for special attention, confidence-building and personal fulfillment

Dr Norman Quintero, Candidate for Perris Elementary School Board District 5

Without the support from a School Board that provides creative strategies, practical plans and real solutions, our highly-qualified teachers, hard-working students and involved parents are being cheated. 40 percent of our students do not meet basic, minimum, educational standards set by the state of California. 25 percent are at health risk for physical fitness. Those numbers should be even worse, given the unique challenges that PESD teachers and students face. That number would be higher, if not for their extraordinary commitment and efforts.

Realistically, in the short term, budgets won’t allow a significant increase in the number of teachers or a decrease in the size of classes. There are simply not enough hours in the existing school day to provide enough time to address the mental and physical development necessary to a solid foundation for success in secondary schools and beyond. Certainly, the big words and meaningless generalities produced by bureaucratic reports and piles of paperwork haven’t accomplished any results.

I am focused on deeds, not words. As part of my 6-milestone Road Map for improving our underperforming PESD, I have identified both causes and the solutions. In this 4th step toward providing our students, teachers and parents the educational environment that they deserve, I am addressing the critical need, ideal opportunity for, after-school activities and programs.

I am the only candidate who has devoted his career to education, children’s advocacy, mental health and community activism. I share a common culture and background with our families and their kids. Combined with my proven track record in business and management, I have mastered the allocation of limited resources and an ability to “think outside the box” in order to achieve real results with real actions.

I believe that I am the only candidate who identifies, speaks simply and directly to, the issues. We can motivate our students, support our teachers, involve our parents, reduce absenteeism, enhance the quality of this basic level in the learning experience and increase resources by creating mentor/tutorial programs, social and athletic activities outside of school hours. The recruitment of community volunteers, nonprofit organizations and business sponsors will make our campuses a destination for special attention, confidence-building and personal fulfillment.

Third in a series on the ‘Road Map’ to success for underperforming school districts

PERRIS, Calif., October 2, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
With slightly less than 6,000 students spread among eight facilities, the Perris Elementary School district is relatively small as compared to many others throughout the state of California. Despite the fact that 90 percent of the student body meets the criteria of being “socio-economically disadvantaged,” per-pupil allocations are slightly above the statewide average. Yet PESD consistently ranks in the bottom one-third of achievement levels and other categories in service to the community and its children.

Funding and tools for public school districts can come from many sources. In addition to a fixed tax base, many supplemental programs are available to provide revenues from local, state and federal agencies. As well, both public and private sector grants can increase annual budgets, while corporate sponsors routinely donate of goods and services. In order to take full advantage of these well-deserved opportunities and assets, governing school boards must be aggressively proactive in both identifying and pursuing them. In the most recent 80-paged Local Control Accountability Plan and Annual Update, among numerous deficiencies, “needs,” “goals” and “performance gaps,” nowhere is addressed the simplest and most obvious of solutions or strategies.

I’ve devoted my training, my career and my life to serving those in need. I am not a politician, but this election provides me another opportunity to apply my successes as a practical businessman, spiritual leader and activist on behalf of our kids.

Dr. Norman Quintero, Mental Health Practitioner

Any small investment in the time, thought and effort required to research and access the means to improve or create after school, special education and tutorial programs pales in comparison to the potential benefits. Too many of those who reference “vision” and “commitment” overlook the remedies at hand. Too many of those who generate mountains of paperwork and navigate miles of red tape fail to fill out a few more forms in order provide a higher quality of education.

On any given day, one out of five PESD students does not attend classes. Obviously, that is one day that each falls behind. What many taxpayers and parent don’t realize is that the school district is penalized financially based on “average daily attendance.” Somewhere along the line, someone or some committee determined that bus transportation should only be available to families who lived outside a 2.5-mile radius from their children’s school. Otherwise, a 6- or 12-year-old should be expected to walk – potentially alone – for up to an hour each way, both to and from school each day … regardless of weather, traffic, physical ability or potential danger.

Dr. Norman Quintero, a candidate for the PESD School Board is a product of the American public school system and a longstanding member of the local community with eight children of his own. He has overcome a lower-income childhood and serious medical challenges to achieve two doctorates and become an internationally recognized advocate for education, mental health and children.

Quintero says Perris Elementary School District’s poor performance is due to poor management, not lack, of funds

PERRIS, Calif., September 11, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Among all candidates for the Perris Elementary School District Board, only one contender has identified specific causes for and stated specific solutions to address he believes is the inferior education of Perris, California’s local children. Armed with a five-point “Road Map” and decades of education, experience and shared culture, Dr. Norman Quintero has based his campaign on results, rather than rhetoric.

Last week, in the first of a series of interviews, he addressed what he sees as primary solutions – allocation of resources and accountability. Despite above-average funding as compared to other California schools, the relatively small district is ranked very low in overall program quality. Despite substantial state, federal and private-sector subsidies for nutrition, technology and recent pay raises to a highly qualified faculty, students’ test scores, accommodations and learning environment rank overall in the bottom one-third statewide.

This community is our home. My wife and I are obligated to see that our kids – all kids – are given every opportunity for success. The PESD has the tools, but only the PESD board can make the repairs to a broken system. The first steps are allocation and accountability of every dollar to every student.

Dr Norman Quintero, Candidate

According to a growing number of parents, community leaders, educators and members of the business community, this election is simply about using the tools available in order to reverse the trend. Many of those same voters support and endorse Dr. Quintero due to his extensive background in education, mental health, charitable organizations and public service. But even more key is his success in business – in achieving maximum results from available resources.

Dr. Quintero says elementary education is the foundation on which work ethic and study habits in secondary education, future employment, social values and quality of life are built. Especially in a district where almost 4,500 kids are classified as “socio-economically disadvantaged,” every available dollar spent must be a dollar well-spent. The obligations of financial accountability and allocation must be the No. 1 priority of the governing body (and its board members) responsible for the allocation and accountability that dollar.

Dr. Norman Quintero is uniquely qualified as a candidate for the school board. The majority of his many successes in businesses have not been driven by profit, but for service with national and international non-profit organizations. As a tough negotiator and even more scrupulous money manager, he has maximized the benefits of every one of those dollars in providing for our children, homeless and needy.

Ongoing operations and education require ongoing management. Budgets are created months (or years) in advance, but expenses and revenues can change daily. In order to deliver the highest-quality product and service, an expert and experienced businessperson is critical in meeting the ever-changing challenges and requirements. The PESD is responsible for upwards of a $57 million-dollar budget, but far more importantly, the fundamental education of more than 5,000 students. There is no product or service more valuable.

In his most recent interview, Dr. Quintero stated, “This community is our home. My wife and I are obligated to see that our kids – all kids – are given every opportunity for success. The PESD has the tools, but only the PESD board can make the repairs to a broken system. The first steps are allocation and accountability of every dollar to every student.”

Candidate Identifies Specific Causes and Cures in Ailing Perris Elementary Schools

PERRIS, Calif., August 29, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Despite available and untapped resources, the Perris Elementary School District continues to struggle in meeting the challenges of educating its students. Current funding is above the average of other statewide districts. Microsoft provides technology at no cost to the district or parents. Nutrition being critical to the learning process, 80 percent of students are eligible for state and federally subsidized meals. A professional, dedicated and qualified faculty shares with a concerned, and an involved, citizenry the absolute priority on fulfilling the potential of every child. So why and how has the system continued to fail?

The reasons and excuses are many. Some might say the school board has succumbed to politics, apathy, incompetence, bureaucratic inertia or generic bromides – or maybe even all five. In order to remedy any problems, one must first identify their existence and their root causes. Only at that point, can real solutions be defined and implemented. Whether diagnosing an illness and treating it or mapping a journey from “Point A” to “Point B,” there must be a viable plan.

Today, my priority is on the efficient and productive allocation of our limited, but adequate, resources. Other California public school systems, with far less funding and far greater financial burdens, are outperforming us in academics, school safety and overall development of our kids. I have the advantage of decades as a social advocate, an educator, sharing a common culture with my community and as a mental health professional.

Dr. Norman Quintero

Among less than 6,000 students, almost 90 percent meet the criteria of, “socio-economically disadvantaged.” Approximately 50 percent are “English Learners.” In math and reading proficiency, overall ratings by California Department of Education standards, the school district consistently under-performs and founders in the bottom one-third of the state’s public school districts. There are essentially no after-school programs, tutorials nor any systemic accommodation of “special needs.” Average Daily Attendance, on which funding is based, shows that 20 percent – one in five students – are absent from class on any given day.

In researching all candidates for a position on the Perris Elementary School District Board, only one has shown the foresight – a feasible vision – to establish an actual “Road Map” from where the PESD is and how to navigate toward its destination. Dr. Norman Quintero has diagnosed the condition and has taken the bold commitment of addressing the symptoms one at a time.

At this first stage of his campaign for the Nov. 6 election, Dr. Quintero has gone on the record: “Over the course of the next several weeks, I will be confronting each of the district’s and the board’s previous failures as well as the real proposals necessary to rectify them. Today, my priority is on the efficient and productive allocation of our limited, but adequate, resources. Other California public school systems, with far less funding and far greater financial burdens, are outperforming us in academics, school safety and overall development of our kids. I have the advantage of decades as a social advocate, an educator, sharing a common culture with my community and as a mental health professional.”

Dr. Quintero also expressed his enthusiasm for the community, the media and even his opponents to contact him and discuss his comprehensive plan to vitalize the Perris Elementary School District by optimizing and maximizing all of its resources.

Dr. Norman Quintero has established in his public policy platform strategies to combat discrimination based on one’s religion. Pastor Quintero’s initiative has the purpose of protecting human values and defending the fundamental freedom to exercise an individual’s faith. Based on faith as a creator of acts of justice, mercy and tolerance, Dr. Quintero recognizes and enforces the work of people of faith and religious organizations and supports that work where possible.

“As a man of faith and respectful of the law, different forms of faith should have a space in the community and should be respected,” said Quintero.

Cities and communities deserve people in public positions with the knowledge and awareness of the dangers of discrimination in all its ways.

Dr Norman Quintero, Pastor

Also, Dr. Quintero denounces the dangers of religious discrimination. According to Quintero, also a mental health specialist, for years religious discrimination has created unequal treatment of an individual or group based on their beliefs or on the other hand, can create favoritism for a specific religious group or denomination.

“Religious discrimination unchains a series of dangerous events disrupting the stability of a diverse ethnic community, like attempts to eliminate religious groups, prohibition of worship or practice of certain beliefs, harassment over religious dress and more. It can be perpetrated by individuals, governments, at workplaces, in communities or even schools,” conclude Quintero.

Despite the fact that Senior Pastor Dr. Norman Quintero preaches in his own church Gethsemane in California, Quintero strongly believes that religious discrimination is a social attitude that segregates people.

“I know that our nation, our communities and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by faith and the countless acts of justice, mercy and tolerance it inspires. I also strongly believe in the power of national service to solve problems and break down barriers by bringing people of all backgrounds together in common purpose. National service expands opportunity for people across America, strengthening our communities and our country. And those who serve earn education awards that they can use for college while building valuable work skills,” said Dr. Quintero.

“Cities and communities deserve people in public positions with the knowledge and awareness of the dangers of discrimination in all its ways,” concludes Dr. Norman Quintero.

Dr. Norman Quintero, a mental health clinician and senior pastor of a non-denominational church in California, comes out in defense of the more disadvantaged families, promising to propose an act for equal pay to women in the workforce.

“I will fight to secure equal pay for women, which will benefit all women and their families, particularly women of color who are disproportionately impacted by discriminatory pay practices and against other facts that contribute to the wage gap,” says Quintero.

Dr Norman Quintero, Pastor

Indeed, due to social inequality that continues to crescendo, Dr. Quintero will pursue to change the general practice of paying less to women in the same positions occupied by men. This population sector has been suffering because of discriminatory practices within and outside the working environment. As a clinical psychologist and pastor, Dr. Quintero has seen the consequences and impact of pay disparity on the female population.

“The issue of discriminatory pay practices has forced many women to have more than one job and not be able to engage in their children’s formation. As a society, we have replaced the care and nurturing of our children by the television and video games, as their parents are out most of the day trying to earn their daily bread.”

Once Dr. Quintero joins Congress, he will propose legislation to give workers the right to have 12 paid labor weeks for taking care of a newborn child or care for a family member with a serious health problem, including the same worker. Dr. Quintero’s commitment to those in need will transcend any political affiliation to build bridges that facilitate the approval of the proposed bill. This effort will give the right to a worker to get at least seven days of sick leave and would force employers to provide holiday pay to its employees.

Dr. Norman Quintero announces the success of the first toy drive which was held at the NQR Corporate office, in Tustin, California, which collected thousands of toys for the children of Puerto Rico.

“On behalf of the Governor and the First Lady of Puerto Rico, I want to thank the Los Angeles area community for helping us bring thousands of toys to the children of Puerto Rico. We are not done, but we are most grateful for the initial response,” said Dr. Norman Quintero, who is leading the initiative to raise funds and bring toys in time for the Jan. 6 Three Kings Celebration.

Dr. Norman Quintero

Hurricane Maria is regarded as the worst natural disaster on record in the Caribbean and caused catastrophic damage and a major humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. Over half of the island is still without power and only a little over 80 percent has potable water.

“Christmas is a time of giving and I am so thankful that our community is answering the call and soon we will be shipping the toys in time for The Three Kings Celebration in Puerto Rico,” continued Dr. Norman Quintero.

Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, is one of the most important holidays on the Puerto Rican calendar. Traditionally, the island and most of the Latin world mark Jan. 6 as the day to exchange presents rather than Dec. 25. As part of this tradition, the children often gather grass, hay or straw in shoeboxes for the Magi’s horses or camels.

“This year has been very difficult for the island of Puerto Rico and we have been in touch with the office of Governor Ricardo Rossello and his wife Beatriz, who are very excited to see us lead the effort to bring thousands of toys to the children of Puerto Rico,” continued Dr. Norman Quintero.

If anyone would like to help with the fundraising effort, please call 1(844) 4-PR-TOYS or 1(844) 477-8697 which has been set up specifically to help people across the country, to be able to take part in helping to bring some much-needed joy and hope to the children on the Island of Puerto Rico. 100 percent of all donations are going towards bringing toys to Puerto Rico. People may also visit the GoFundMe account: https://www.gofundme.com/toysforpuertorico to help in this most needed endeavor.

Los Angeles-area residents are welcome to bring monetary donations and newly unwrapped toys to the NQR Corporation office located at 1411 Warner Avenue, Suite D, Tustin, California 92780.

Mrs. Beatriz Rossello, the First Lady of Puerto Rico, has set up the municipalities of Orocovis, Las Marias, Manati, Salinas, and Humacao for the Jan. 6, Three Kings Day Celebrations.

NQR Corp., Ortiz Media Group, Iglesia Getsemani of California, and InService America are among the first organizations listed to help raise the funds and bring the toys to the Island of Puerto Rico.
