 Dear Third District Resident,
As we approach the end of summer and with some schools already back in session, I hope you have had the opportunity to spend quality time with your family and loved ones. These moments of rest and connection are valuable as we transition into a new school year.
With students returning to the classroom, our focus shifts back to the essential work we do in support of students, educators, and communities. The Riverside County Office of Education continues to serve as a vital partner, providing guidance, support, and leadership to ensure every student in our county has access to a high-quality education.
Education is not just a seasonal priority. It is a year-round commitment to growth, opportunity, and positive change. As a County Supervisor, I am honored to work alongside so many dedicated leaders who share in the responsibility of supporting schools, staff, and students. Whether through mentoring, collaboration, or strategic planning, our combined efforts help shape successful outcomes for those we serve.
For more information about programs, services, and upcoming initiatives, please visit the Riverside County Office of Education website here.
Let us continue moving forward with purpose, dedication, and a shared vision for student success.
Sincere regards,
|

Safer Streets Ahead: Pourroy Road and Murrieta Hot Springs Improvements
Improving safety and traffic flow in French Valley and Murrieta Hot Springs is moving forward in two phases. First, the Murrieta Hot Springs Road Sidewalk Project will fill an existing gap by adding approximately 860 linear feet of new concrete sidewalk along the north side of the road, providing a safer path for pedestrians. Following that, the Pourroy Road Widening Project will add a second 12-foot northbound traffic lane with an 8-foot paved shoulder to help ease traffic congestion.
