Elections
2014
Michael Sgroi, Wendy Rodriguez, George Talley and Timothy Wilson lost to fellow challenger Elizabeth Mercado for Seat 1 in the general election on May 20, 2014.
All members are elected to three-year terms by specific geographic districts that are aligned with the district's elementary school attendance areas. These seats do not have titles, but they are considered distinct from one another. Ballotpedia assigned generic titles to all seven seats on the board to prevent confusion. These seat titles are arbitrary and do not reflect the status or seniority of the board members holding them.
