UPDATE ON THE PROCESS In January 2024, the PUHSD Board of Trustees approved a Resolution for Redistricting to ensure compliance with the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) of 2001. This proactive step was taken to avoid the significant costs that other districts and municipalities were facing due to mandatory redistricting. The chosen map, A3, was designed to establish trustee areas that adhere to both Federal and State laws, emphasizing nearly equal population distribution. The redistricting process does not impact school attendance boundaries but alters how trustees are elected. Moving forward, trustees will be elected by voters within their designated areas, representing their specific regions while maintaining responsibility for the entire District. This shift ensures a more localized representation while upholding the broader District's interests.
The Placer County Committee on School District Organization unanimously approved PUHSD’s proposal to change to a By-Trustee Area Election and adopted Map A3. Additionally, the sequence of trustee areas for election was approved which are: Areas 1 & 5 will be on the November 2024 ballot, and Areas 2, 3 & 4 will be on the November 2026 ballot.

What is Redistricting? The Placer Union High School District’s Board of Trustees were elected in At-large elections. At-large elections are those in which all the voters of the entire jurisdiction elect all the members of 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.
