Elections
2015
Three of the seven board seats on the Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education were up for primary election on March 10, 2015. A general election would have been held on April 21, 2015, if no candidate had received a majority of the vote.
The incumbents from Districts 2, 4 and 6 were up for re-election, but none of them filed to run. Three candidates, Roy Boulghourjian, Evan Dagger and Marcela Rojas, filed to run for the District 2 seat. The District 4 election featured candidates Patrick Cahalan and Sheryl Turner. Candidates Sandra J. Siraganian and Lawrence Torres ran for the District 6 seat. Boulghourjian, Cahalan and Torres won election to their seats in the primary election. Each received more than 50 percent of the votes cast in their districts.
This election was the first time the seats from Districts 2, 4 and 6 were elected by district. Prior to 2012, board members represented a specific seat but were elected at-large. The seats from Districts 1, 3, 5 and 7 switched to by-district elections in 2013.
