If you are interested in running for the 2024-2025 Student Board Member positions, please fill out this application filing form or email candidacy documents to [email protected] by April 13, 2024. *Please note that students from Lincoln High School and San Diego High School are not eligible to run for the 2024-25 school year.

In 2019, the San Diego Unified Board of Education accepted a student petition and authorized installment of a student board member, in line with California Education Code 35012. Additional details can be found here, and in Board Bylaw 1035.

In 2022, the San Diego Unified Board of Education voted to add an additional student board member commencing in the 2022-23 school year. Please note that based on the action of the San Diego Unified Board of Education (which can be found here), no two students may actively serve from the same high school and at least one student serving must be from a school with 60% or higher FRPM (Free or Reduced Price Meal) eligibility.

Per Board Bylaw 1035, Section F, "Consecutive student board members from the same high school are prohibited, except that an incumbent student board member may opt to run for a second term if he/she so desires." The current student board members’ (from Lincoln High School and San Diego High School) terms end on June 30, 2024, which means students from Lincoln High School and San Diego High School are not eligible to run in this election.

If you are eligible and interested in becoming one of the two district student board members for a one-year term effective July 1, 2024, please see the information below.
