State Council of Education & NEA Representative Assembly
CTA's top policy-making body is the State Council of Education. CTA is rigorously democratic. Its structure gives members the ultimate voice in what the Association does. By secret ballot, you and your colleagues elect the 760-plus members of the State Council of Education, CTA’s highest governing body. Meeting four times a year, State Council sets policy for the organization, adopts the budget, determines dues, recommends expenditures to the board, elects the executive officers and 21 other members of the board of directors and performs other similar duties. In addition to the four State Council meetings, State Council Reps attend Service Center Council meetings also. Our San Gorgonio Service Center meets additional four times per year. TVEA has its own three elected members on state council Alan Underwood, Steve Campos and Raul Miranda.

"Honored and excited to begin my first term as a CTA State Council rep. I've worked at Temecula Valley High School for fifteen years, but my time with the TVUSD begins far before that -- in kindergarten, in fact, when I enrolled at Nicholas Valley Elementary. From there, to Margarita, to the then-newly-opened James L. Day, to Chaparral, I'm through and through a product of TVUSD schools. It's an honor to serve my friends and colleagues, many of whom first made an impression on me as my teachers all those years ago.
My wife and I have two children, one at Temecula Middle (soon to be joining me at TVHS!) and the other at Paloma Elementary. I'm immensely proud of the work we do as TVUSD educators, and it's my goal as your State Council rep to ensure that we can continue to do the fine work of supporting our learners in this community!"

Thank you for electing me! I am excited to start my new term as a State Council Rep for TVEA. I have been serving on the safety committee and am eagar to bring back language to our bargaining team. Please contact me anytime to voice concerns or ask questions. We’re in this together!
I began teaching elementary school in 1993 and in Temecula in 2002. I taught 3rd grade at Rancho before moving to BVMS as a math/science core teacher. For the last 10 years I have served as a math specialist at CHS and BVMS and with CTA as part of their Instructional Leadership Corpse (ILC). I’ve been proud to serve you as a BVMS site rep, State Council Rep and at the NEA RA each summer.
I am very thankful for a beautiful family and home in French Valley. Louis and I were blessed very late in life and have three young children aged 10, 6 and 4. They keep us busy, young, and tired .
I am grateful to be “working together” for the benefit of us all.
