阿富汗移民拉希德获任圣胡安联合学区董事 系该席位连续第二位阿富汗移民出任
据圣胡安联合学区官方公告及Nowruz Media报道，Sacramento地区圣胡安联合学区教育委员会10月13日（周二）在面试五位合格候选人后，选定阿富汗移民穆罕默德·阿夫扎尔·拉希德（Mohammad Afzal Rashid）填补第一选区（Trustee Area 1）的董事空缺。拉希德在当晚会议上宣誓就职，任期至2028年11月下一次学区董事会选举。
拉希德在当地居住30年，两个孩子均毕业于该学区学校。他拥有法律学位，曾教授经济学，在加州州政府任职17年，并有国际政策与教育领域经验，目前主持「移民融合与赋能」（Immigrant Integration and Empowerment）组织。他对Nowruz Media表示，其首要任务是确保每名学生达到年级学业标准，尤其是英语学习者与残障学生等落后较多的群体；他计划要求学区按学校、年级与学生群体公布阅读与数学年度进展报告，并关注校园安全、心理健康支持与多语种家庭参与。「我的工作是先倾听，作为团队一员参与政策制定与监督，并把学生放在每个决定的中心，」他说。
该席位前任董事阿比德·斯塔内克扎伊（Abid Stanekzai）同为阿富汗移民，今年8月因举家迁出学区辞职，任职近两年。学区为新移民与难民家庭设有支持团队，配备波斯语与普什图语工作人员，服务学校多位于第一选区，包括恩西纳高中（Encina High School）等。拉希德成为该席位连续第二位阿富汗移民董事。（GSM 据圣胡安联合学区公告、Nowruz Media报道）
Afghan Immigrant Mohammad Afzal Rashid Appointed to San Juan Unified School Board
The San Juan Unified School District Board of Education in the Sacramento area selected Afghan immigrant Mohammad Afzal Rashid on Tuesday, October 13, to fill the vacant Trustee Area 1 seat, after interviewing five qualified candidates, according to the district's official announcement as reported by Nowruz Media. Rashid was sworn in at the same meeting and will serve until the next school board election in November 2028. Rashid has lived in the area for 30 years and is the father of two district graduates. He holds a law degree, previously taught economics, brings 17 years in California state government plus international policy and education experience, and heads the organization Immigrant Integration and Empowerment. He said his first priority is ensuring every student performs at grade level, particularly English learners and students with disabilities, and he plans to ask for annual reading and math progress reports broken down by school, grade and student group. He succeeds Abid Stanekzai, another Afghan immigrant who resigned in August after moving out of the district. The district's newcomer support team includes Farsi- and Pashto-speaking staff serving schools in Trustee Area 1, including Encina High School.
