Manteca Unified School District Trustee Area Measure

The Manteca Unified School District (the "District") is currently governed by a seven-person Board of Trustees whose members reside in one of five geographical regions, or "trustee areas," within the boundaries of the entire District. Each governing Board member, or "trustee", must reside in the trustee area that he or she represents, but he or she is elected "at large" by all of the registered voters residing within the entire District.

If approved, Measure I would change this current system of electing trustees "at large" to a system of electing trustees "by trustee area." Under this "by trustee area" method of election, seven trustee areas would be created within the boundaries of the entire District. A trustee would be required to reside in the trustee area that he or she represents, and he or she would be elected only by the registered voters residing within that particular trustee area.

A "Yes" vote on Measure I would change the manner in which District trustees are elected to a "by trustee area" system, consisting of seven trustees and seven trustee areas.

A "No" vote on Measure I would maintain the current manner in which District trustees are elected, an "at large" system consisting of seven trustees and five trustee areas.

Passage of Measure I requires approval by a majority of the voters voting thereon.
