County Committee Seats Filled

SAN JOSE, CA – No election will be held for three open seats on the Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization, because only one candidate filed for each seat.

Seats were to be filled in a November election for Supervisorial Districts 1, 3, and 5.

The candidates who filed for election, and now will assume the seats, were incumbent Phil Nielsen in District 1, Tanya Freudenberger in District 3, and Rose Filicetti in District 5.

Freudenberger currently serves on the board of the Alum Rock School District. Filicetti is the executive director of the Santa Clara County School Boards Association and a past school district board member. Nielsen has served on the County Committee for seven years and previously served on the board of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District.

The primary responsibilities of the 11-person committee are the reorganization of school districts (through territory transfers and unification) and the establishment or rearrangement of governing board trustee areas in the school districts.
