1st elected latino majority school board in OregonWe made history today by electing Anthony Medina, who makes the Woodburn School Board the first elected Latino majority school board in Oregon!!! At just 25 years old, Anthony has broken down barriers for future generations of students. He was the first in his family to graduate from college, earned a Master's in Education Policy from Stanford University and works as a budget analyst for the State of Oregon. Talk about being young AND qualified to lead in our local school board.
