My name is Long Jiao, and I am a board member of the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD). I am dedicated to conducting surveys on key CUSD issues to keep residents informed and to understand your perspectives on these matters. (Disclaimer: This survey is conducted by Long Jiao only, and is not related to the entire board of CUSD.)
The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) has made it easier for minority groups to sue school districts (or cities) that use at-large elections. In 2024, Fremont Union High School District, which covers the entire area of CUSD, transitioned from at-large elections to by-trustee-area elections. Mountain View Los Altos High School District is also in the process of transitioning to by-trustee-area elections as of the end of February 2025. Any at-large California school district or city may receive an attorney letter at any time to trigger such a transition. Please click here for more information. I would like to hear your thoughts before we potentially receive such an attorney letter.
