Vote IREY for Excellence in Education

By Phoeba A. (Wolfe) Irey

Candidate for Board Member; Menifee Union School District

This information is provided by the candidate
The best investment for your tax dollars is supporting students in the classrooms. Decisions must be shared by parents, staff and the community. The road to excellence is shared by all stakeholders.
I have been a public school teacher for nearly 40 years. The last two years were as a Reading Consultant at Menifee Elementary School. I was president of the state organization, Reaing Specialists of California, from 1993 to 1996. In April, 2008, I earned a Masters in Governance Certificate from the California School Boards Association.

My husband, John Irey, and I have been married 45 years. We have three children and five grandchildren. Our daughter, Shelly Whelen, teachers first grade at Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary. Three of our grandchildren went through the Menifee Schools and have now graduated from Paloma High. All three are currently enrolled in college.

During my four years on the Menifee School Board we have been able to move away from a multi-track school year, start the unification process, install solar panels at Menifee Valley Middle School, and improve communications within the district. Three Menifee Schools were honored as California Distinguished Schools during my term on the board. Test scores in the Menifee Union School District have continued to rise.
