New Trustee By Area Election
Our District is moving forward with the transition to “by-trustee-area” elections, as required by the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). We’ve just released three new draft map options (2A, 2B, and 5), bringing the total to seven maps for review. You’re invited to take a look at the maps and share your feedback! Community input is a big part of this process, and your comments will help shape the final decision. More information can be found at this District webpage.
Upcoming Public Hearings:- Sept 17, 2025 – Second Public Hearing on draft maps, 7:20pm at the District Office Community Room (1212 Pleasant Hill Road, Lafayette).
- Oct 15, 2025 – Third Public Hearing on final map options, 7:20pm at the District Office Community Room. At this meeting, the Board will select the final trustee-area map for the Nov 2026 elections.
Can’t make it? You can still email your feedback to trusteeareafeedback@auhsdschools.org or call (925) 942-9649. Thanks for staying engaged and helping shape our District’s future!
