EMUHSD to Host Public Hearing: The El Monte Union High School District is continuing its efforts to gather community input and boost voter participation as it begins the process of shifting from at-large elections to by-trustee area elections, holding its second in a series of public hearings on Wednesday, Sept. 1.

The shift means that instead of residents voting for any board candidate on the ballot within the District’s boundaries, residents will vote for a single candidate residing in their newly drawn trustee-area, usually one-fifth of the entire District. The change will go into effect November 2022.

A Message from the Superintendent Regarding Vaccination Mandate

El Monte Union is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all of our students and staff. On Oct. 6, the Board of Trustees directed the District to require that all eligible students who are 12 years of age and older be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by Jan. 3 to continue to take part in on-site instruction. Student athletes must be fully vaccinated by Nov. 19. To be considered fully vaccinated, two weeks must have passed after receiving the second dose of the vaccine. Adding vaccination for COVID-19 to the existing vaccine requirements for our students ensures that we can safely continue offering the highest-quality public instruction, rigorous in-person learning, and extracurricular activities on our campuses that promote the growth and development of our students.
