History of the Establishment of Trustee Areas
The Santa Paula Unified School District District ("District") Board of Trustees is in the process of changing from at-large elections to by-trustee area elections for members of the Governing Board. If approved, the change will go into effect starting with the November 2020 elections for the Board of Trustees. Currently, the District's five-member Board of Trustees is elected by voters across the entire District. Starting with the elections in November 2020, members of the Board of Trustees would only be elected by voters who reside in the areas that Board members are elected from. For more information please see the attached documents and maps.
