This guide is to help parents and community members with questions regarding how the District is governed and to whom they should communicate regarding matters of the Shoreline Unified School District.
Public Schools in California are governed by a publicly elected Board of Education. The Board’s responsibility is financial oversight and making policy decisions that govern the organization. Every individual district in the State interacts with a county office of education whose role is to support the district and maintain fiscal oversight.
There are seven members of the Shoreline Unified School District Board of Education. They are elected to four year terms and represent the three regions of the 450 square miles that encompass the district’s geographic area. In order to run for the school Board a person must be a legal citizen, at least 18 years old, and live within the school district boundary.
