Elections
2015
Opposition
Two of the five seats on the Paramount Unified School District Board of Education were supposed to be up for general election on November 3, 2015, but the election was canceled due to lack of opposition.[1][3][4]
The seats held by incumbents Linda Garcia and Vivian Hansen were supposed to be on the ballot.[5] Because both incumbents were unopposed in their bids for re-election, they were automatically appointed to another term.[1][2]
Results
This election was canceled due to lack of opposition. Incumbents Linda Garcia and Vivian Hansen, who were unopposed in their bids for re-election, were automatically appointed to another term.[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.[6][7][8]
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.[9]
