Mr. Darnley has been passionate about the community of Rainbow and the Vallecitos School District as the heart of this community since moving to Rainbow about 10 years ago. He and his family fell in love with this area and have made it their home. Michael and his wife both work in the medical field and have a strong interest in public education. They enjoy being a part of Vallecitos and helping to make it a great place for kids to learn. In addition to his duties on the School Board, Michael and his wife have developed and lead the Vallecitos Science Club, where they help students understand basic scientific principles that enable them to compete at the San Diego county elementary school science competition. Michael is proud to serve as a member of your school district leadership.

37 years ago, I moved to Rainbow with my husband. We built a home, raised a son and have lived an idyllic life in our beautiful valley. A while back, I retired from 22 years of teaching and decided to become more in involved in my community. When the opportunity rose to become a Vallecitos School Board Trustee, I decided to answer the call. It is with great pride that I assume this position. The experience I bring includes a bachelor's degree in Gerontology, multi-subject K-8 Calif. Teaching credential, a master's in education, Board Secretary for the Fallbrook Community Center and a vast array of life experience. As a school board trustee, I will advocate for policies and opportunities that enhance the educational experience of our students and teachers.

My husband and I moved to Rainbow in 2021. The both of us were looking for a small community to raise our family: Ava and Evalyn. We immediately fell in love with Rainbow, particularly with Vallecitos Elementary School. I was so excited when the school reached out to me to serve on the school board. I immediately said yes to assume the position as a Board Trustee knowing that serving on the school board would not only be a privilege but also an opportunity to have a direct impact on the community. As an immigrant and a minority myself, I will advocate for the rights of those that are underrepresented and underprivileged with hope that these rights can enhance educational opportunities for these communities.
