A Message from the Board
Welcome to the 2009-2011 school year.
The Board of Trustees is very proud of Victor Elementary School District’s reputation as one of California’s highest performing districts, with a district API of 807. VESD has received three National Blue Ribbon Awards: Lomitas in 1999, Brentwood in 2003, and Sixth Street Prep School in 2009. The district has also received two awards from the California Council for Excellence, naming VESD as one of the best districts in the state. While California’s fiscal crisis has caused our district’s budget to be very lean, and there is certainty of even deeper cuts for 09-10 and beyond, VESD remains committed to providing the highest level of service to our parents and community through its quality education programs. In our district, parents are provided with choices for their child’s schooling in areas of focus including foreign language, music, performing arts, exploration, sports and fitness, gifted and talented education, Montessori learning and a career academy.
Sincerely,
Karen Morgan 2009 Board President

Karen Morgan, Board President
As a school board member, my interest is in the education and welfare of our community's children. I attended school here from start to finish and have a great affection for this school district. I was elected to the school board in November 2001, and I am honored to be part of a district with such a great reputation. I retired in 2002 from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, where I worked for over 20 years as a public relations officer. I have been associated with several volunteer organizations, most of them through school or youth activities.
