“Latino school board members bring an important perspective to education, but Latinos are underrepresented on boards throughout the state, a report released last week says.

Among the school boards identified in the report as being especially unrepresentative of the community they serve are three in North County: the Escondido Union High School District, the elementary Escondido Union School District, and Fallbrook Union High School District.

Across North County, few Latinos hold school board seats in districts that often are more than 50 percent Latino. Among 20 North County school boards, only one of the 100 board members is Latino.”
