Testimonials and Success Stories
Testimonial from Monica Anzo
Superintendent of Alisal USD on July 1, 2025:
Coronado, Pagano & Associates, led by Dr. Rosa E. Coronado, proved to be an invaluable asset to Alisal Union School District.
Serving as our Interim Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, she provided both stability and innovation during a critical transitional period. Dr. Coronado is a Human Resources expert who delivers exceptional results. With her strategic guidance, we were not only able to successfully close complex negotiations with CSEA but also rapidly implement a much-needed Human Resource structure and foundational systems across the district within a matter of weeks.
Her ability to ensure legal compliance, streamline personnel processes, and prioritize equity and organizational growth elevated our operations to a new level of efficiency and trust. Her professionalism and strategic insight made her a trusted partner to our leadership team and Board. I highly recommend her expertise and commitment to excellence.
