Cecilia Aguinaga is running again for the Santa Ana Unified School District’s board of education. You may recall that in 2006 she lost to Audrey Noji, which was astounding since Noji is so hated. Aguinaga fell apart towards the end when she fired her campaign manager and when we found out that her kids were sent to private schools.
Now she is holding a fundraiser and guess what? The guest speakers include despicable Santa Ana Councilman Sal Tinajero, who was part of the fraudulent Measure D campaign. Well, I guess we now know where Aguinaga stands. If Tinajero is a friend of hers I will definitely be voting for someone else for school board.
By the way, why the heck is she bringing the Mayor of San Juan Capistrano to speak at her event? Who in Santa Ana knows who this guy is? How odd.
I bet she supports the new school bond too. No se puede Cecilia!
Notice the date: Saturday 22, 2008
Anybody know what month?
# 1
The only months this year that have the 22nd fall on a Saturday are March and November. Let’s hope she’s not so stupid as to hold an election kickoff on November 22.
That’s the least of her problems.
Anyone else notice all the spelling errors?
C’mon Art, you’re way too quick being negative. I’ve known Cecilia for years at Santa Ana H.S. where she started as a classroom aid. She’s is a really nice person, salt-of-the-earth type, never puts on airs, talks to everybody. I don’t know how she would do on the school board, whether she has the strength and experience to defend herself from the sophisticated deceptions and manipulations board members are subjected to by District managers and other self-serving interests. But go and talk to her, she has time for everyone. Remember that Sal was a great guy as a Santa Ana teacher, everyone liked him. Power and authority do change some people for the worse, but we shouldn’t dismiss others for retaining long friendships.
But Art, do we have ANYONE in Santa Ana willing to step up to the plate and run for school board, who can see through smoke and mirrors, who will actually come down to schools and talk to teachers, custodians, and students to find what’s actually going on in classrooms, and without bringing an entourage to use the visit as photo-op and publicity vehicle (I’m thinking two specific board members here.) Get some names we can support out here.
I hope the teachers union gets involved this time.
573 teachers are getting RIF notices next month. Rumors are that the high schools will be able to retain only ONE psychologist per campus.
And only ONE administrative position has been eliminated in the district office. ONE. One of the piggies will be gone.
Audrey Noji is behind this. Getting rid of Hernandez and Richardson should be priorities.
God, this town sucks as far as good leadership goes. Everyone is totally over taxed. Everyone receives the poorest of services with the lowest expectations from top decision makers.
Cecelia Aguinaga would be a great choice.
She is an active community member and has worked for the district in the police services department, so she has repoire with the students ands staff and understands the problems with the district.
The fact that she is not buddied up with Audrey Noji or Rob Richardson is points in her favor.
Give her a chance before dismissing her over her association with Tinajero.
Does this lady even speak English? and yes she is stupid enough to omit the Month of her fundraiser.
“Well, I guess we now know where Aguinaga stands. If Tinajero is a friend of hers I will definitely be voting for someone else for school board.”
Congratulations Cecilia Aguinaga on your victory!!!
I know the elections is months away, but the fact that Art Pedroza is against you has to be the best news your campaign has received to date.
Art is “The Mush” (see the Bronx Tale). No matter what side he takes, the other side wins no matter the odds.
Just look at Measure D. What a horrible ballot measure and yet Pedroza was able to extract defeat from the hands of victory.
What country is this woman from? Her accent is worse than Clownia’s.
Great. Cecilia sends out her invitation without proofreading it for errors. Wow. What a great SCHOOL board member she’ll make. What kind of message is this?

Believe it or not, the correct term is “bilateral”. You can fault he SAUSD administrators with picking that term.
You’ll have to find some other fault with her, which BTW, is not that hard at all.
Looks like she has at least a half pound of make-up in that picture above…
Noji,
I love it! You write a comment blasting Cecilia on her English skills and yet yours are a bit off in the very same post.
“Your a nice lady”
You incorrectly use “your” when you should have used “you’re”.
Maybe you should enroll in that remedial English class with her. Perhaps you can get a group discount.
What’s going on with Ibarra, Vasquez and Verino????? Are any of them throwing their hats in the ring?
Cecilia Aguinaga is a desperate candidate. Just look at the fact that she is lists Sal Tinajero as a host for her campaign kickoff.
“Cecilia Aguinaga is a desperate candidate. Just look at the fact that she is lists Sal Tinajero as a host for her campaign kickoff.”
Why would you say that? Sal has never lost an election. Maybe she wants to have the support of winners.
Would you prefer she use Art Pedroza’s name? He is the antithesis of Sal. He never wins an election. (see Measure D).
She walked the parade in Santa Ana back on the 2nd.
That is good for some votes.
Ella es tan linda..tan dulce..tan intelagente….y tiene mi voto! Gracias Cecilia!
#13. You’re right. I didn’t use a contraction, but then again, I am not a candidate for school board.
Cecilia still needs to enroll in a remedial english class and perhaps a speech class might help her with her accent.
17(cook), All she needs now is a Card telling everyone she’llsave the School Board.
#18 is another illegal alien voting.
Go get ’em Lupe Moreno.
We can’t have ilegal aliens voting in November.
Rick
whoo was that her having those book marks being handed out?
I guess we will need to see what happens during the Sept. parade.
Don’t worry Ceci…
Like Don Qixote said once:
“The dogs bark Sancho, is signal that we advanced”
I just think we need to look around for someone more “community oriented” I heard of others who are interested like Amezcua, Alvarado, Singuenza… what do we know about them?
