Trustee Area Information

In 2016, Glendale Unified School District moved from an at-large method of electing board members to by-area elections. Although board members are elected by trustee area, each board member serves the entire community and supports all schools in Glendale Unified.

In November 2021, Board of Education Trustee Areas were updated based on new demographic data from the 2020 US Census.
