Do You Vote in MVUSD Trustee Area 1?

Murrieta Valley Unified elects its Board of Trustees by area. That means only voters who live inside Trustee Area 1 cast a ballot for the Area 1 seat. Here is how to confirm your area in a few minutes — and what that vote decides for our schools.

Teacher · Parent · Resident

Experience in Murrieta classrooms, homes, and community

My focus is on two proven policy priorities — Career Technical Education and Graduate Ready standards — that cut across every pillar of this campaign and put student achievement first.

  • 21 years teaching MVUSD students
  • Murrieta parent & 26-year resident
  • Built career pathways through collaborative leadership within a school and across the district

Three steps to confirm your trustee area

Every step below points to an official source. We do not guess your district for you — these tools give you the answer of record.

  1. 1. Confirm your voter registration

    Check that your registration is active and lists your current home address. Your address — not where your child attends school — determines which trustee area you vote in.

  2. 2. Look up the contests on your ballot

    The Riverside County Registrar of Voters shows every district and contest tied to your address. If the Murrieta Valley Unified School District Trustee Area 1 seat appears, you are an Area 1 voter.

  3. 3. See the official trustee area map

    Murrieta Valley Unified publishes the adopted trustee area boundary map used for by-trustee-area elections. It is the authoritative source for where Area 1 begins and ends.

Who is eligible to vote

You can vote for the Area 1 trustee seat if you are a United States citizen, at least 18 years old on Election Day, registered to vote in Riverside County, and your home address falls inside Murrieta Valley Unified Trustee Area 1. You do not need to have a child in the district — every resident of the area votes in this contest. The next general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Live in another Murrieta trustee area? Your voice still counts. You can't cast the Area 1 ballot, but you can talk to friends and family who can, host a meet & greet, display a sign, or volunteer — see below.

Only Area 1 votes for this seat — every Murrieta family lives with the result

Board decisions on budgets, programs, safety, and career pathways reach every school in the district, not just Area 1 campuses. If you live in Areas 2 through 5, here is how you can still make this win happen:

  • Tell your Area 1 friends, neighbors, and coworkers to check their ballot
  • Volunteer for phone banking, walking, or event setup
  • Host or co-host a neighborhood meet & greet
  • Display a yard sign where city rules allow
  • Share the campaign link and QR code on social media
  • Sign up for campaign updates so you never miss a session

What the Area 1 seat decides

  • Who represents Area 1 neighborhoods on the five-member Board of Trustees
  • District budget priorities — how dollars reach classrooms, staff, and safety
  • Academic programs, graduation requirements, and career technical education pathways
  • Board policies on curriculum, parent notification, and school climate
  • Superintendent oversight and accountability for district results
