The Solana Beach School District has resumed its efforts to transition to by-trustee area for elections, a conversion that was disrupted by the pandemic. Under the new election system, the district would be divided into five geographic areas and one board member living in each area would be elected by the voters who live in that area, rather than the current method of at-large elections.

The board selected its new map last February and it was meant to be used in the November 2020 election before the process was delayed. The process picked up where it left off on April 21, when the San Diego County Committee on School District Organization held a public hearing on the proposed map. Action is expected to be taken at a future San Diego County Board of Education meeting the board next meets on May 12.
