San Diego Unified School District Interim Superintendent Fabi Bagula, Trustee Sharon Whitehurst-Payne, school students and members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority today unveiled new signage for the Dr. Bertha O. Pendleton Elementary School in a celebratory fashion to conclude Women’s History Month. Dr. Pendleton in 1993 became the first woman, and first African American to serve as Superintendent for San Diego Unified until her term ended in 1998.

For the second consecutive year, the San Diego Padres are partnering with San Diego Unified School District to combat chronic absenteeism through the expanded "Be a Pro and Always Go" attendance campaign. Building on last year's successful collaboration, this year's initiative emphasizes the critical importance of consistent school attendance for academic achievement and long-term success.
