Board Vacancy - Area 1

On Thursday, January 14, the Placer County Board of Education voted unanimously to begin the process of a provisional appointment to fill its open board member seat for Area 1. This position was recently vacated due to resignation of Trustee Suzanne Jones who was elected to the Placer County Board of Supervisors in March 2020. To avoid a costly special election, the County Board has selected the provisional appointment process to fill the open seat to serve out the reminder of Jones’ term which expires in December 2022. Read the full press release.
