School Board Vice President

Renita Armstrong is a Bellflower resident and single mother to five former and current BUSD students in which two are currently attending high school. 

Renita is an Early Childhood Special Education Specialist currently employed by Montebello Unified School District. With 27 years of teaching and leadership experience, more than 15 years of PTA membership and school involvement, a history of volunteering in her church as well as serving as an Area Director for Los Angeles County School Trustees Association, Renita is committed to serving others. Renita has served as the treasurer for Los Angeles County Education Association and as the At-Large for the California Teachers Association (Southeastern), representing Human Rights, Women’s Advocacy, and LGBTQ+ Advocacy groups.

Renita has a sincere passion for service and a mission for elevating others to aspire to their potential.  These drivers compel her to parent her daughters and teach her students and inform and empower their parents, as well as support and represent her peers through common union affiliation.  Renita desires to continue to represent and inform her community at large by stepping forward as a Bellflower Unified School District (BUSD) Board Member.  Renita desires to partner with the rest of the elected leadership to help steer the district toward the future that the mission statement invites us to build. 

She believes that by investing in our children, teachers and parents we can create opportunities, bring forth positive change, and build our community to become even stronger.

Renita is honored that the residents have placed their faith and trust in her hands.
