Statement on Zuraya Tapia-Hadley by Sindy M. Benavides, Latino Victor Fund President & CEO:
“School boards are critical because they implement policies that impact our children in their most formative years. Zuraya Tapia-Hadley brings a wealth of experience and a forward-thinking vision to the Arlington County School Board. Not only is Zuraya a 20-year resident of Arlington County, but she’s also a mom to two children who attend the Arlington school system, and has been civically and politically active at all government levels. Zuraya will focus on safety, ensuring students receive a good quality education, and harnessing effective communication between the school board, parents and the community, fostering transparency. She’s ready to work with the board to create positive change for students, families and educators. Latino Victory Fund is proud to support Zuraya Tapia-Hadley for Arlington County School Board.”
