Board Member Election

The Orange County Committee on School District Organization will be holding a Special Meeting and Public Hearing regarding the District's proposal to establish Trustee Areas and adopt a By-Trustee Area method of election.

Hearing Notice
Meeting Agenda

 Ocean View School District (OVSD) is considering a new system for electing Board Members. Currently, under the “At-Large election” system, all voters within District boundaries can vote for all five Board Members. With the transition to “By-Trustee Area elections,” voters will elect one Trustee whose home address is within the same designated geographic area as the voter.

While this shift changes how Board Members are elected, it will not affect:

  • School boundaries
  • School services, programs, and resources 
  • OVSD’s commitment to providing educational excellence

Proposed Maps (Updated October 14, 2025)

The OVSD Board of Trustees voted 4-1 to approve the resolution transitioning from at-large elections to by-trustee area elections. The Board also recommended that the Orange County Committee on School District Organization approve and establish trustee areas from which OVSD Trustees will be elected. Trustee Area Map 2 was approved by a 4-1 vote. The election sequencing was approved separately by a 3-2 vote. Areas 2, 4, and 5 will be up for election in 2026, while areas 1 and 3 will be on the ballot in 2028.

We appreciate your continued engagement and partnership in ensuring a smooth and transparent transition for our District.
