Woodside Elementary School District’s governing board was scheduled to hold a special meeting on Monday, May 1, to discuss the process for replacing board member Wendy Warren Roth, who resigned April 6.
Go to AlmanacNews.com for updates. The meeting was held after the Almanac went to press.
Ms. Roth, who declined to state why she was leaving her elective position 18 months before her term ends, had been on the school board for seven and a half years, serving as the board’s president from late 2011 through 2016.
Under the California Education Code, when school board members resign before their term is up, the board must either set an election or appoint an interim board member within 60 days. If the board decides to appoint a board member, voters can ask for an election instead by filing a petition signed by 1.5 percent of the district’s registered voters within 30 days.

Any registered voter who lives in the school district is eligible to serve on the school board.
