Transition to Trustee Areas for the November 2022 General Election
Savanna School District transitioned from at-large elections to by-trustee area elections. Residents are able to vote for a single Board of Trustee candidate residing in their newly drawn trustee area. Under the "at-large" system utilized in elections prior to 2022, all registered voters within the District's boundaries could vote for any candidate for all Board member seats. Beginning with the November 2022 election, candidates will be elected by “trustee areas.” This means only voters within a given trustee area can vote for candidates who reside within that same area. The intent of this proposed system is to offer greater opportunities for Board representation by candidates who might not otherwise be elected under an at-large system. The map below demonstrates the "trustee areas" for the Savanna School District.
Trustee Areas 1, 2, and 3 were on November 2022 Ballot
Trustee Areas 4 and 5 to be on November 2024 Ballot
