This week, we celebrated the retirement of Jesús Villaseñor, a PACER Parent Advocate who has been a cornerstone of our team for 30 years.

Since joining PACER in 1996, Jesús has helped thousands of families navigate the path to a better future for their children. He led hundreds of workshops, served on more than a dozen committees, and was a tireless voice for Latino families and communities across Minnesota. Through it all, he has been a true champion for children with disabilities.

Jesús, thank you for three decades of dedication, compassion, and service. Your impact will be felt by Minnesota families for generations to come.

Bullying can have a significant impact on students' mental health. As National Bullying Prevention Month comes to a close this week, we encourage all who have helped spread kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to continue these efforts every day after and help us create a world without bullying.
