College is not the only path to success, and Hector believes every student should graduate with real options. He is working to expand high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) programs that connect students to hands-on learning, industry certifications, and direct pathways into good-paying careers. By strengthening partnerships with community colleges, local unions, and apprenticeship programs, Hector is ensuring students can transition seamlessly from high school into the workforce with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed.

Hector is committed to making sure every dollar in the district is used transparently and with purpose. That means prioritizing investments that directly improve student outcomes, maintaining strong oversight of district spending, and ensuring that resources reach classrooms where they are needed most. From securing historic funding for school improvements to advocating for responsible budgeting practices, Hector is focused on delivering results while protecting taxpayer dollars.

Strong reading skills are the foundation for lifelong success. Hector is leading efforts to improve literacy rates across the district by expanding access to reading specialists, investing in early literacy programs, and implementing targeted interventions for students who need additional support. He is also focused on learning recovery, ensuring that students who fell behind have the tools, instruction, and support needed to catch up and stay on track. His goal is simple: every student reading at grade level and prepared for the next step in their education.
