SUNNYVALE, CA — December 8, 2021 — The Sunnyvale School District Board of Education is seeking the public’s input on the third draft of by-trustee area maps and will hold a map public hearing on December 9 at 6 p.m. Board Meetings are held at the District Office located at 819 W. Iowa Avenue in the Board Room.

Like more than 300 school districts and 100 cities across the state, the Sunnyvale School District has started the process to change to by-trustee area elections. Switching to by-trustee elections will require the District to create five geographic trustee areas within the District, each assigned to one seat on the Board. Voters within each trustee area will vote only for candidates for the seat on the Board assigned to their trustee area.
Once the process is complete, Board elections will be transitioned to by-trustee area elections beginning with the 2022 election. The current Board members will continue in office until the expiration of their terms in 2022 or 2024.
Please feel free to contact Jesus Romero, Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, with any comments or questions about by-trustee area elections by calling (408) 522-8200 x1002 or by email at jesus.romero@sesd.org.
