Retirement of PUSD Teacher Ion Puschila
Retirement of PUSD teacher Ion Puschila met with the attendance of dozens of former and present students, teachers, political leaders, organizers, educators, and community-based friends – all lauding the influence that he had in the development of community schools, the organizing of scholarships for students with the annual Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta breakfast and pilgrimage march, the building of bridges in advancing intersectional unity, the support for immigrant and labor rights, and the unconditional teaching, giving, and mentoring of hundreds of students over the years. All echoed the sentiment: “Ion – thank you for your contributions- we will carry on – but you are truly going to be missed.”
