Alisal trustee Carmella Franco pens a book

State Trustee Carmella Franco, who has been at the helm of the Alisal Union School District since May 2010, co-authored a book about her personal experiences as administrator.

Titled "A Culturally Proficient Society Begins in School," the book was published in October, and was co-authored with Maria Ott and Darline Robles, also top school administrators.

Haven't read it, but Franco told me the book is based on personal stories. Here's what a fellow administrator wrote about it:

"As a colleague and fellow female superintendent of color, I can relate to and see myself in so many of their stories. This is a wonderful must-read book for those interested in equity!"
--Amy Enomoto-Perez, Superintendent of the Rosemead School District.
