It is vitally important that voters pay attention to the citizens they select to oversee their schools - the governing board members to whom they entrust their children and their tax dollars. It is equally important that school board candidates understand the depth of commitment required to effectively fulfill the school board role. Information about filing to become a candidate and the election process should be addressed to the San Diego Registrar of Voters (Click Here for their website).
