Patricio Dujan
West Contra Costa Unified School District • Trustee Area 5
School Board Trustee Candidate
About Patricio
I am a former teacher and an education leader running for the West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) Board of Education in Trustee Area 5 (El Cerrito, Kensington, the Richmond Annex, the Richmond Marina, Point Richmond and East Richmond Heights). As a father with two children in WCCUSD public schools and a Latino immigrant, I understand how critical a strong public school system is for all students and families.
I am an immigrant who came to the United States in the first grade speaking only Spanish. My family left Argentina due to the military dictatorship in the 1970s. My parents gave up their careers as a teacher and school principal to start anew so that their children could have a brighter future. Our family settled in the Los Angeles area where my two siblings and I attended public schools. Thanks to the support at home, by amazing California public school teachers and speech therapists, we achieved our family’s American dream – attending UC Berkeley, earning graduate degrees, and having successful careers.
After attending UC Berkeley, I follow my parents’ paths and worked as a teacher in urban high poverty schools that face similar challenges to many of our WCCUSD schools. I learned first-hand how fulfilling and challenging being a teacher is. It is an intensely demanding career, and we need to do more to support and honor our teachers.
After teaching, I lived in various parts of California and the East Coast for graduate school and a career in education. In 2011 my wife Gabrielle and I chose to settle in El Cerrito to raise our two daughters. We always knew that we wanted to come back to the area. We are both involved in the community through youth soccer, the school Parent Teacher Associations and volunteering at school events.
Challenges and Priorities to Improve Student Outcomes
I have devoted my career to education by first teaching in urban high poverty schools and then by working with educators to improve student learning. I work with school Superintendents and education leaders across the country to implement best practices and improve district outcomes. I have focused on developing teachers and helping students overcome tremendous challenges at school and at home – much like the challenges that we face at WCCUSD.
Although the district data shows disturbing numbers, 70% of third graders read below grade level, I knowthat we can improve our schools for students and families. I strongly believe that our community deserves better results. I have the experience and expertise in working with districts with similar challenges to achieve their academic goals. As a board member I would focus on:
- Promoting strong fundamental skills in reading, math and science, while meeting the needs of all students, especially African-American and LatinX students.
- Investing to attract, retain and develop high quality teachers and staff.
- Providing fiscal accountability on administration while keeping cuts away from the classroom.
- Expanding access to career and technical education to prepare students for their future.
- Encouraging more parent and student involvement.
With two daughters attending WCCUSD public schools, I know how important a world-class education is to families and the community. I also support:
- The moratorium on new charter schools in WCCUSD.
- The intent of AB 1505 to hold charter schools accountable for student performance and fiscal health.
We need to get all our schools performing well to decrease any charter appeal for parents. I will work to replicate the success that exists in many of our schools and invest in our programs that are working. This includes raising student achievement, student voices, and telling our positive stories so our local schools are an attractive option to families considering other options. I will fight every day to develop excellence in our schools and make WCCUSD a district that is the pride of our community.

I am so proud to be endorsed by:
- The California Democratic Party (CADEM)
- The Democratic Party of Contra Costa County (DPCCC)
- The California Teacher Association (CTA). CTA is the unified voice for educators in California’s public schools and community colleges. With the combined strength and commitment of 310,000 members

Zovem se Veronica, iz HRVATSKE sam, zadnjih pet mjeseci sam tražila pravu kreditnu tvrtku od koje bih mogla dobiti kredit kako bih mogla kupiti kuću kakvu sam htjela. Dugoročno, bilo je hrpa prijevara zbog kojih sam im povjerovao i na kraju dana su mi uzeli novac bez da su mi dali išta zauzvrat, čak ni 1 euro na moje ime, izgubio sam svaku nadu, bio sam zbunjen i frustriran, nikad nisam želio imati ništa s online tvrtkama za zajmove pa sam otišao posuditi novac od prijatelja. Ispričao sam sve što se dogodilo i rekla mi je da mi može pomoći pronaći tvrtku za zajmove koja mi može dati bilo koji iznos zajma koji mi treba i po vrlo niskoj kamatnoj stopi od 3%, također mi je rekla da je upravo dobila zajam od njih, ako želite biti upućeni da podnesete zahtjev za zajam kao i mi, kontaktirajte putem e-pošte: [email protected]

I read so many stories about bitcoin loss to scams. I will like to start by saying the agencies responsible for bitcoin security has really done nothing to help locate stolen or lost coins. In my situation my MacBook was hacked by someone that had access to my emails, i immediately contacted blockchain and they only wasted my time, after which i worked towards getting help else where, i was referred to consult a bitcoin expert who helped track and retrieved my 3.3 btc, for an agreed fee. I was more than grateful and willing to pay more after the job was done. Thankful i didn’t fall victim and would like to recommend ( MORRIS GRAY 830 @ G maiL . COM )…
