The Pasadena Unified School District has announced that the official filing period for candidates for Seats 1, 3, 5 and 7 on the PUSD Board of Education is now open (District 1 includes west Altadena and a small section east of Lake Avenue).
With the new redistricting in place since the passage of Measure A in June, interested candidates can only run for the seat that is in the geographic subdistrict where they reside. Board members will be elected to a four year term for subdistricts 1, 3, 5 and 7 next year and subdistricts 2, 4 and 6 will be on the ballot in 2015.
The filing period to run for the PUSD Board of Education will close December 7, 2012. Voters in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre will go to the polls March 5, 2013 for the primary nominating election and April 16, 2013 for the general election (if necessary).
The map of the new geographic subdistricts is available at www.measurea.pasadenausd.org or www.cityofpasadena.net/cityclerk. Information for candidates is available online at the City Clerk’s website or by calling the Pasadena City Clerk’s Office at (626) 744-4124.
