 California, USA – Chaldean Bushra Butres challenges the old guard of the Cajon Valley school board, which oversees a district of 28 elementary and middle schools in the inner city and more rural neighborhoods.
Incumbents Marsha L. Saben, Jill D. Barto and Jane Cruz Alfano are being challenged by Bushra “Nissou” Butres in the Nov. 7 election.
The Cajon Valley districty has a large population of Chaldeans and Assyrians but is poorly represented in school policy or understanding. Many in the community have long sought a qualified candidate to bring a unique perspective of the challenges new citizens in the Cajon Valley schools face. Many in the Chaldean community feel Butres is the right person for the job.
