Zafari files for school board

Published: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 5:27 PM CST
After nearly 10 years as an Allen resident, Rona Zafari has filed for Place 3 on the Allen ISD Board of Trustees.


"I want to contribute to the tradition of good education and smart stewardship of taxpayer dollars," the introductory paragraph of Zafari's website reads.

School funding and innovation in the classrooms are Zafari's two main concerns, she said, though she told the Allen American she is not yet ready to go into the details of her platform.

"The experience I've had here in Allen -- I've lived here for almost 10 years, and 21 years in Collin County -- being involved in my children's school and looking at the function of the school districts, that qualifies me as a candidate," she said.

Zafari serves as secretary for the Collin County Lincoln Society, a local Republican club and serves on the board for Night of Superstars, a red-carpet charity for children with disabling conditions who have excelled in academics, athletics or community service.

"It's my interest to serve the community," she said. "I highly regard the Allen Independent School District. My kids had great educations and I'm definitely supportive of all of the things that my kids have learned."

Zafari has operated a Farmer's Insurance agency in Allen since 2005. Her son, Faisel, graduated from Allen High School last year. Her daughter, Farrah, attends Ereckson Middle School.
