On Nov. 28, the Santa Clara County Board of Education unanimously approved the selection of Donald Rocha as the provisionally appointed trustee for Area 3.
Trustee Area 3 includes the Cambrian, Campbell Union, Luther Burbank, Moreland, Union and Campbell Union High School districts and a small portion of San Jose Unified and Santa Clara Unified school districts.
The seat becomes vacant on Dec. 21, when the deferred resignation of Trustee Rosemary Kamei takes effect. Kamei was elected to the San Jose City Council in June.
Rocha will be sworn in on Dec. 21. As the provisional appointee, he will fill the remainder of the term which ends after the November 2024 election is certified. He joins the seven-member county board of education from his current position as a school board member in the Cambrian School District.
Rocha’s first board meeting will be Jan. 18. The public can view the Santa Clara County Board of Education meetings at tinyurl.com/sccboardmeeting.
