LVJUSD To Hold Board Candidate Information Night

LIVERMORE, CA - From Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District: The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) has announced it will hold a Board Candidate Information Night for those interested in running for one of three vacant seats on its Board of Education, the policy-making body of the LVJUSD. On Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at 6:30 pm, interested community members are invited to attend, listen, and ask questions during the informal workshop session held in the LVJUSD Board Room at 685 E. Jack London Boulevard.

In an effort to provide accurate information for voters to reference while considering candidacy, the Candidate Information Night will offer details about the overall District, roles and responsibilities of public service as a Board member, and the election process. Additional topics will include a meetings calendar, timelines for candidates, conflict of interest and campaign reporting requirements, City regulations regarding campaign signs, and the California Fair Political Practices Commission rules. All filing documents may be obtained at the Alameda County Office of the Registrar of Voters beginning July 16, 2018 and must be completed by August 10, 2018, which is the official Candidate Nomination Period.

The five trustees of the LVJUSD Board of Education serve staggered four-year terms. The three open seats this year will be decided on November 6, 2018. Currently, the seats are held by Board President Craig Bueno, Trustee Kate Runyon, and Trustee Anne White.

Serving on the local Board of Education is one of the most meaningful ways to contribute to one’s community. Being a trustee of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District does not require a degree in education or a background in politics. It does require a sincere interest and strong investment in the community and the education of its children.

For additional information, or to receive written materials after the Candidate Information Night, please contact the Superintendent’s Office at 925-606-3281.
