2026 Elections Page for the Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD)
Board members of the Cabrillo Unified School District were previously elected “at-large,” meaning that candidates were required to reside within the attendance areas of the Cabrillo Unified School District and the voters of the entire district elected the candidates to the Board. A “by-trustee area” election, wherein one candidate residing in each trustee area is elected by only the registered voters in that particular trustee area, ensures compliance with the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). The Board moved to a “by-trustee area” electoral system in 2019, which began with the 2020 Board election. Please see the relevant information below.
The Governing Board consists of five members whose terms shall be staggered so that, as nearly as practicable, one-half of the members shall be elected in each year in which the Board’s elections are regularly held.
The term of office for members elected in regular elections shall be four years, commencing on the second Friday in December next succeeding their election.

The board meets at least once a month at the District Office, 498 Kelly Avenue, Half Moon Bay. Meetings are open to the public and are usually held on Thursday nights at 6:30 pm. A portion of the board meeting consists of a “closed” session for the purpose of discussing confidential matters, such as personnel or student issues.
