Board of Trustees


The San Diego Community College District is governed by its five-member, locally elected Board of Trustees and a student board member. The five trustees are elected in even-numbered years to four-year terms by the voters of San Diego. Trustee candidates first run in district-only elections. The top two vote-getters in each district run citywide in the general election. See a map of trustee districts.

The trustees are sincerely interested in the views of students, faculty, staff and citizens on matters affecting community college and continuing education in San Diego. Before bringing concerns to the Board, you are encouraged to discuss the matter with the president or dean of the college or continuing education center involved, or the appropriate administrator at the District Office.
