A retired principal, former school trustee, ‘Ike’ Montanez is still volunteering decades into his retirement.
Brentwood’s newest public school – the first in more than a decade – will be named after a longtime retired educator who is still helping the community: Isaac “Ike” Montañez.
Eaton later said the naming of the school was “a deeply touching tribute to an incredible member of our community.” Black worked with Montañez as she taught in a bilingual class in the early 1970s at Brentwood Elementary, when Montañez was director of the Los Amigos bilingual program, which he introduced to the district.
“I saw this very humble, dignified, quiet, powerful brown guy who looked like me, which was very, very important,” he said. “We all know how important that is.”
