Three school board and three college board seats on the November ballot

Any interest in serving on the college or school district boards of trustees? Now is the time to submit your paperwork for the November 8 General Election.

Three Feather River College trustee areas and three Plumas Unified School District trustee areas are up for election on the November ballot, and interested candidates have until Aug. 12 to file their papers. The trustee areas have been redrawn following the 2020 Census, and the trustee area identifying numbers have changed to more closely align with the county supervisorial districts.

The trustee areas up for election in November:

            Trustee Area 2 – (Indian Valley, Canyon, part of East Quincy) Guy McNett and Bill Elliott currently serving, but Elliott has indicated he will retire his position. The duality is due to the redrawn lines. McNett lives in Indian Valley and Elliott in East Quincy.

Plumas Unified School District

            Trustee Area 3: (Lake Almanor) Traci Holt announced she will not seek another term.
