I'm Khaled Omar, a district parent, advocate, and coach!

I'm running for Rio School District Trustee Area 1 because our students, parents, teachers, staff, and vulnerable populations deserve someone to be their voice, someone that is not disconnected from todays reality.

This all started when I went to advocate on behalf of a student victim of racism in our schools and heard a board member tell black and brown parents that we "don't have these issues in this district." It made me realize there was a huge disconnect from reality. Our kids are growing up in constantly changing times. Our parents, teachers, and staff are overburdened, overworked, and burnt-out members of the working class. Currently, education and public funding are under attack and being dismantled, all while our neighbors are being targeted and kidnapped by our government.

I believe our district is special and can be a top district in the State if we properly tackle our issues and aim high, and ensure we give everything we have to fight for the best education for our kids.
