Marysville Joint Unified to fill Trustee Area 2 vacancy; applications due July 21
Summary
Following the resignation of Trustee Ricardo Galicia effective June 30, 2025, the Marysville Joint Unified School District board confirmed the vacancy, directed staff to post for letters of interest with a July 21 noon deadline, and said it may act at the July 22 board meeting.
The Marysville Joint Unified School District board confirmed the resignation of Trustee Ricardo Galicia, creating a vacancy for Trustee Area Two, and directed staff to advertise the opening with a letter-of-interest deadline of July 21 at 12 p.m. for consideration at the board’s July 22 meeting.
Sandra Torres, a resident of Trustee Area Two who said she worked in the district’s education services office, urged the board during public comment to develop a qualifications 'wish list' for the position and said she would welcome the opportunity to discuss her interest further. "Someone who is committed to promoting opportunities for student excellence," she said, listing qualities she believes applicants should have.
Jordan (district staff) told the board it has legal obligations and options for filling the vacancy, including posting for applicants and making a provisional appointment. Jordan said the district must fill the seat within 60 days if possible and recommended posting the vacancy on the district website and accepting letters of interest rather than a formal application form; the district will also post contact information for questions.
A board member moved to confirm the resignation and to post the vacancy with the July 21, noon deadline; Mr. Yang seconded. The board voted unanimously to carry the motion.
Staff clarified that a provisional appointee would serve only until the next election, meaning the seat would be on the November 2026 ballot; the district noted this could result in two seats appearing for that area in that election cycle. The board set the next meeting for July 22 and said it would consider candidates at that session.
Clarifying details provided at the meeting include: the application format (to be a letter of interest rather than a formal application), a proposed deadline of July 21 at 12 p.m., and the plan to post vacancy materials on the district website. The exact contact email was described during the meeting and will be posted with the vacancy; the transcript records the phrasing used by staff but not a fully specified address.
