SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS

Both the Del Mar Union School District and San Dieguito Union High School District hold regular elections every November of even-numbered years. Elections are staggered so that two or three seats are on the ballot every election year. In both DMUSD and San Dieguito, three of the five seats will be up in the general election this November.

 

The filing deadline for this election is August 7, 2026.
