The Rialto Unified School District (RUSD) is moving from At-Large elections to By-Trustee Area elections for its Board of Trustees in 2022. The goal of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) is to ensure minorities and other members of protected classes can elect candidates of their choice or influence the outcome of elections. To achieve this goal, the CVRA favors By-Trustee Area elections, which is where only voters residing within each trustee area will elect a trustee who also must reside within the trustee area. If you wish to speak on this topic, you are welcome to attend the next RUSD Board of Education School Board Meeting. You may also provide input through email at: info@rialtousd.org. If you have questions, please call RUSD Communication/Media Services at (909) 820-7700, ext. 2126 or 2127.

Below are potential election sequencing schedules for each draft trustee area map. Currently, the Board’s elections are sequenced so that two seats are up for election in 2022, and three seats are up for election in 2024. The options provided below maintain this sequencing. These do not encompass every possible sequencing schedule but include the most apparent schedules.
