Director Ayloush was very caring towards our concern to have Zainab Khan (my daughter) on a Halal diet in her Pre-K class so he connected my mother Koussar Khan with the legal department. Attorney Chehata then reached out to me and , within 3 business days contacted State and County officials and confirmed from the San Bernardino Unified School District that Zainab will receive her religious accommodation. The service I received was exceptional and timely.
