Jim Elliot is an at-large representative on the Bonita Unified Board of Education. Elliot filed to run for another term in the general election on November 3, 2015.[1] The election was canceled, however, due to lack of opposition. Because of this, Elliot was automatically appointed to another term.[2] His term on the board was extended an extra year when the board voted in December 2016 to switch to holding elections in even-numbered years.[3]

Funding
At the time of this election, the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk did not publish school board candidate campaign finance reports online. Ballotpedia staffers requested this information, but the only free method of viewing the files was at their office.
The Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk targeted the end of 2018 to make school board candidate campaign finance reports available online for free. From that point forward, Ballotpedia began including campaign finance data for Los Angeles County school board candidates.[7][8][9]
The first campaign finance reporting deadline was September 24, 2015, and the second one was October 22, 2015. If candidates raised or spent more than $1,000 from a single source, including their own funds, between August 5, 2015, and November 2, 2015, they had to file a campaign finance report within 24 hours.[10]
If you have any information regarding the campaign finance disclosures in this race, please contact the school board elections team at editor@ballotpedia.org.
