Board of Trustees

Community Leaders Entrusted with the Lives of Our Children

Our District is fortunate to have five elected volunteer citizens who feel passionately about ensuring that the school district provides our children with the knowledge, skills and ambition to fulfill their greatest dreams.

The Trustees have deep roots in the Pittsburg community and multiple years of experience as members of the Governing Board. They frequently visit schools and devote many long hours to studying materials in order to make important educational and financial decisions for our District.

The trustees typically meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month (unless otherwise posted) at 6:30pm in the District Office Board Room, located at 2000 Railroad Avenue, Pittsburg.

Meeting norms include keeping the focus on the best interest of our students, listening actively to all ideas, communicating openly and honestly, respecting differences, and staying focused on the goals of the District. The trustees invite public comment at Board meetings. Comments are typically limited to three minutes for each individual on each agenda item. Time limits may be adjusted if there are a large number of members of the public who wish to comment.
