I have had the distinct honor of serving as a the D2 Trustee for the Alamo Colleges District along side my Colleague, Leslie Sachanowicz, JD-District 9. Both Districts run contiguously from near downtown San Antonio all the way out to the County Line, Northeast. We began our service to our Bexar County citizen constituents in 2020/2021 only days apart. While the citizens who elected us to serve them come from different backgrounds and demographics, our service and commitment to excellence for ALL District students and their families are jointly mirrored. Trustee Sachanowicz is eminently qualified for, and well prepared to continue to serve as the District 9 Trustee. He is managing partner and practicing attorney of his own law firm. He graduated from St. Mary’s University, School of Law. Subsequently, he served as a Law Professor at that same institution. As an Educator, he understands firsthand the challenges of nurturing students who struggle to prepare themselves for a brighter professional future, many of whom work and attend college part time while rearing families. He is a strong advocate for Academic and Student Success throughout our community college system. In addition to his service as a Trustee, he was elected by his peers to also represent the Alamo Colleges District on the Bexar Appraisal District, the very agency that sets property tax assessments for all taxing entities in the county. His understanding and practice of the law makes him eminently qualified to strongly advocate for equitable tax assessments for all citizens of Bexar County. He has proven himself to be a strong leader who also interacts successfully with all our Board colleagues, while holding firm to his convictions, standards and integrity. He has the current experience, leadership ability and integrity to continue to ably represent his constituents. He deserves re-election as the Trustee for D9.
