Tim Schneider
Ballotpedia provides comprehensive election coverage of the 100 largest cities in America by population as well as mayoral, city council, and district attorney election coverage in state capitals outside of the 100 largest cities. This board member is outside of that coverage scope and does not receive scheduled updates.
Tim Schneider is an at-large representative on the Whittier Union High Board of Trustees in California. He first joined the board in 2007.
Schneider sought another term in 2015. Because he ran unopposed, Schneider was appointed to his seat rather than appearing on the ballot on November 3, 2015.[1][2]
Elections
2015
Opposition
Two of the five seats on the Whittier Union High School District Board of Trustees were supposed to be up for general election on November 3, 2015.[3][4] The election, however, was canceled due to lack of opposition.[1] The seats held by incumbents Tim Schneider and Ralph Pacheco would have been on the ballot.[5] Because both incumbents were unopposed, they were appointed to their seats rather than appearing on the ballot.[2]
This was the fourth consecutive school board election that was canceled in the district due to lack of opposition.[6]
Results
This election was canceled due to lack of opposition. Incumbents Ralph Pacheco and Tim Schneider were appointed to their seats rather than appearing on the ballot.[1]
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.
2011
On November 8, 2011, two four-year term seats and one two-year term seat were up for election. With only two incumbent candidates, Ralph Pacheco and Tim Schneider, filing for the four-year term seats and only incumbent Russell A. Castaneda Calleros applying for the two-term seat, the election was canceled and not placed on the ballot.[11]
