The Morongo Unified School District Board of Education is accepting applications to serve a three-year appointment as a trustee for Area 1 of the District. The appointed individual will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs. Karalee Hargrove and will serve the remainder of the term through December, 2026.
School board members are locally elected public officials entrusted with governing a community’s public school to ensure the district is responsive to the values, beliefs and priorities of their communities. Boards fulfill this role by performing five major responsibilities: setting direction; establishing an effective and efficient structure; providing support, ensuring accountability, and providing community leadership as advocates for children, the school district, and public schools.
This vacancy on the MUSD board is for an Area 1 trustee, whose district covers a majority of Twentynine Palms and part of Wonder Valley, and vacancies such as this offer an opportunity for new voices and fresh perspectives to serve the school district and support a tangible democratic process.
Applications are available online and are due no later than 12:00 p.m., June 6, 2025. Applications will be screened by current board members prior to candidate interviews.
Screening will begin on June 6, 2025 and interviews are tentatively scheduled for June 13, 2025. All applicants must live within the Area 1 district.
Please contact the Superintendent’s office at (760) 367-9191 extension 4221 if you have further questions in regards to completing an application.
