The November 8, 2022, Election will include four open seats for trustees of the school district. This year is the first year of voting using “by-trustee Areas” versus an “at-large” process.

There will be three four-year terms for trustees in the newly-formed trustee areas 1, 2 and 4.

Additionally, voters will choose an at-large trustee for the remaining two years of a four-year term to replace the at-large seat of a trustee that resigned in 2022.

The qualifications required for a candidate to run for school board trustee are as follows:

• Must be at or over the age of 18

• Registered to vote at their address within the school district boundary; and

• Live within the by-trustee area 1, 2, or 4 for a 4-year term (maps can be found at https://www.syvuhsd.org/apps/pages/index.jsp... ) or

• Live within the school district boundary for a 2-year at-large term.
