GUSD & GCCD Districts

For the first time in Glendale’s history, the Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) and Glendale Community College District (GCCD) will hold elections for seats representing specific geographic areas (by-district elections). The two bodies adopted the by-area/district elections model to take effect in April 2017. The information below is to assist you in better understanding these important and new changes.

The Glendale Unified School District Board voted on May 24, 2016 to change the at-large method of electing board members to a by-area election effective April 2017. It also adopted a trustee areas map providing for the district boundaries.
