What is Redistricting? The Placer Union High School District’s Board of Trustees are currently elected in At-large elections. At- large elections are those in which all the voters of the entire jurisdiction elect all the members to the governing board. Under a By-Trustee Area election system, the District is divided into geographic areas - Trustee Areas – and a Board Member residing in each Trustee Area is elected only by the registered voters who live in that Trustee Area. Please keep in mind that this transition does NOT change attendance boundaries for students/schools, it only changes the Trustee Area maps for election purposes. The following is an excerpt from the March newsletter about what redistricting is and how it relates to PUHSD‘s election process. How do I submit a map?
