For Immediate Release to the General Public:
Eliana Calvani Confirmed as new Superintendent of Public Instruction:
September 24th, 2021: Diana Jones, Chairman for the Committee on Healthcare, Education, Labor and Pensions opened the confirmation hearing by briefly describing the responsibilities of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. She stated that the Superintendent, put in charge of the Department of Education, is responsible for developing and maintaining the San Andreas Education Code, ensuring equal access to education, ensuring opportunities to participate for all eligible student and teachers, providing direction, supervision and coordination of all activities of the Department of Education, serving as an advisor to the Governor's Office on all matters related to education, developing and executing publicly funded student loan and grant programs, and several more duties as described in the Higher Education Act of twenty-twenty-one.
The Secretary of State, Guillermo Perez nominated Miss Calvini for the position. Eliana Calvani has previously worked as the Chief of Staff for the Secretary of State, at ULSA in the Student Affairs Office, and as a Magistrate. She is a bar certified lawyer and holds a Juris Doctor from ULSA. Miss Calvani stated in her opening that it was in her nature to help others and that growing up she saw firsthand how difficult the educational system can be. She noted that teachers can be prejudiced towards students who weren't "American" enough. Calvani affirmed that she felt Los Santos was different though, being a multicultural and diverse community. She aims to support students so that they can grow into powerful and successful individuals in Los Santos.
As Chairwoman Diana Jones opened the hearing for comments and queries, Senator Marty Hany was the first to interact with Miss Calvani, asking about her prior education and work history, before moving on to ask about her responsibilities at ULSA. After this short back and forth Senator Hany asked about her plans for the Department of Education. Calvani replied that her plan was to create a healthy environment for the youth of Los Santos by building youth centers. She insisted these centers would be their safe place, where they can play games, read books, do their homework, get the help they require and to eat warm meals. Calvani also noted that she wanted to strengthen the bond between ULSA and the Department of Education through specific projects. She also mentioned that she wanted to amend and work on the San Andreas Education Code.
At this time, Senator Haney's time expired. Senator Ulf was recognized for time, which he yielded to Haney. Haney had no further questions, but stated that he looked forward to working closely with Miss Calvani if she were confirmed by the Senate.
Chairwoman Diana Jones used time to question the witness herself after Senator Haney. She stated that she felt their was discrimination within Los Santos and ULSA, even receiving reports on incidents that had occurred. Chairwoman Jones mentioned that the news had even touched on it in the past and events had occurred to raise awareness such as TogtherULSA, an event she had spoken at personally in the past. The Chairwoman asked Miss Calvani if she had any comment about the points she had raised. Miss Calvani responded by apologizing and stating she would do her best to address the issues to fix them. She stood firm that Los Santos shouldn't be a place where discrimination has its roots.
After this back and forth the Committee on Healthcare, Education, Labor and Pensions was called to vote. Everyone voted in favor and the nominee moved onto the full senate where she was confirmed without any objections.
