Community Leaders Gather in the High Desert

• Dr. Suzette Muhammad, Co- Founder, NextGen Preschool

The evening brought together leaders representing education, public safety, business, and com- munity organizations, demon- strating the broad support for Dr. Dowdy-Rodgers' vision of edu- cational excellence, equity, and partnership throughout San Ber- nardino County.

Guests enjoyed an evening of conversation and networking while learning more about Dr. Dowdy-Rodgers' priorities, which include expanding opportunities for students, strengthening part- nerships with families and com- munities, supporting educators, and preparing every student for success in college, career, and life. Host Dr. Derek King emphasized the importance of collabora- tive leadership and investing in the future of education through- out the region, noting that strong communities are built through strong schools and leaders will- ing to work together on behalf of students. The fundraiser high- lighted the growing momentum surrounding Dr. Dowdy-Rodgers' campaign and reinforced the im- portance of community involve- ment in shaping the future of pub- lic education in San Bernardino County.

As the campaign continues, sup- porters are encouraged to stay engaged through volunteer op- portunities, community events, and ongoing conversations about the future of education across the county.
