Half way through her first year with Ravenswood City School District, Rosa Molina's mantra has been the three R's -- "Results, Relationships, Responsibility."  Ms. Molina brings invaluable leadership to RCSD after 28 years with San Jose Unified School District where, most recently as Asst. Superintendent, she contributed to the increasing standards that led State Superintendent of Public Instruction to describe SJUSD's accomplishments in closing the achievement gap as "incredible."  Sharing her view of where REF must continue to focus, she remarks, "I think the best way to impact students who have real academic needs is to continue to support the schools in their efforts to extend the school day.  Without additional support the children of the district are relegated to only 5.5 hours of instruction a day and that is simply not enough when we are creating a core program that requires students to 'catch up in order to keep up.'"
