Due to an appointed trustee stepping down for personal reasons, our School district has have a vacant position on the School Board and we are looking for candidates to serve as a trustee in Area 7, which covers Capitola. If you click on this link, you can check your address against the trustee area map to confirm your residence in Area 7. Trustees provide a vital component to the management of a school district, helping provide public input and transparency in our community.
Serving as a School Board Trustee means attending our regular board meetings every other Wednesday, reviewing information about the meeting, and attending regular meetings with the Superintendent to keep informed on the district between meetings.
We invite those interested in the position to apply via this application, or visiting the District’s website at www.sccs.net. To be eligible, applicants must be a District Area 7 resident (this is the Capitola area - you can find the map of trustee areas here), must be a registered voter, must be a citizen of the state, and not otherwise disqualified from holding a civil office.
Applications are due to the Superintendent’s office no later than 5:00pm on Tuesday, December 8, 2026. Those who qualify will be invited to a Board Orientation with the Superintendent and Board President. The Board will then review the applications and conduct the interviews of the final applicants at a special Board meeting. After conducting the interviews in open session, the Board will finalize their selection and make the provisional appointment.
For further information, please contact Denice Grogan, at dgrogan@sccs.net or 831-429-3410 x48220.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from interested community members!
