“Chris Pflanzer has been an invaluable partner in driving meaningful innovations during my time with the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District. As a dedicated member of the Shared Decision-Making Council for several schools, he consistently championed positive change with a focus on student success.

Chris’s high standards, hands-on approach, and ability to unite stakeholders make him a trusted thought-partner and advocate for excellence. He understands the aspirations of families and works tirelessly to create solutions that benefit everyone involved.

His support was instrumental in the transformation of Benton Middle Magnet for Visual and Performing Arts, and students continue to thrive thanks to his unwavering commitment.”
