Nevada Joint Union
High School District

 

Students of the Nevada Joint Union High School District will be electing a student to serve on the District Board for the 2024/25 school year. The role of a NJUHSD student Board member will be to enhance communication between the Board and the student body, and to encourage student involvement in district affairs. The student Board member will be given preferential voting rights meaning that they will cast their vote and state their opinion prior to the actual Board’s vote, but the student’s vote will not be a part of the numeric count. The student may also make motions that may be acted upon by the Board.

 

All candidates must be an enrolled student of the Nevada Joint Union High School District. The elected student will be expected to attend all of the 2024/25 open session Board meetings (all starting at 6:00pm). Meetings are regularly scheduled at Bear River, Nevada Union and other Nevada county locations. If the elected student misses three meetings consecutively, they will be removed from the Board of Trustees.  All candidates are required to complete the online application and submit a two minute campaign video. Submissions are due by May 3, 2024, 2:00pm.  Incomplete and/or late submissions will not be considered.  

 

Every school in the District will have one vote. Each school will have their own election (via Google Form) with all the candidates from the District. The candidate who receives a majority of the votes from a student body will receive that school’s one vote. Each school in the District will hold their election by May 24, 2023.

 

Applications for 2025/26 school year will be held in May, 2025.

 

This is an excellent opportunity for any student who wants to make a difference for all high school students in Nevada County, gain experience on a public agency board, provide community service and learn how education is delivered in California.
