Information on CVRA (California Voting Rights Act)
TUSD Board will be taking steps toward creating seven separate trustee districts, eliminating the current at-large system of electing school board members:
Board members are currently elected in “at-large” elections, where each member is elected by voters throughout the District. The California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”) prohibits the use of “at-large” elections in certain circumstances. Thus, in light of the CVRA, many school district and local agencies have transitioned from at-large to by-trustee area elections to avoid the cost associated with CVRA litigation. Many nearby local agencies have already made this transition or are in the process of doing so.
WATCH BOARD MEETING LIVE!
Watch the live stream of the TUSD Board meeting. Tune in at 7:00 p.m. Check out the board agenda webpage for links and other information :
After many years of teaching students at DR, Mr Ruiz has officially retired.
Mr Ruiz was with the Tracy Unified School District for 18.5 years and he is known for his devotion to the 49ers.
He has definitely worked hard these many years at DR and has a well earned rest coming.
We will miss you, Mr Ruiz, and you will never be forgotten.
Best wishes to you in this exciting new chapter!
