Seeking School Board Trustee in Capitola Area

Dear SCCS Families & Neighbors

This year, we 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.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Trustee Patricia Threet for her 14 years of service on our board of trustees, for her thoughtful questions and her informed leadership. Her knowledge, her patience and her commitment to the children of our community has enriched the student experience for our students.

We’re so grateful to have a board focused on students, and partners in creating a school culture focused on student outcomes, excellence and equity.

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 Thursday, September 17, 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 on Tuesday, September 29. 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!

Warm regards,

Kris Munro

Superintendent
