The board of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District voted unanimously on December 2 to make a provisional appointment for the now vacant Trustee Area 2 seat. This seat was previously held by Patrick Ahrens, who resigned after being elected to the state Assembly. The board is mandated by state law to either order an election or make a provisional appointment to fill the vacancy created by Ahrens' departure.
To qualify for the interim trustee position, applicants must be California citizens over age 18, registered to vote, and reside in Trustee Area 2. Interested candidates need to submit a letter of interest and resume to the chancellor's office by January 3, 2025, with the government board planning to conduct interviews from January 13 to 21 before voting on the appointment.
In related community efforts, Sunnyvale Community Services received grants to enhance food recovery capacity, totaling $108,000 distributed among 12 local nonprofits. These grants increased the capacity for handling surplus food, especially prepared meals, responding to a new state law requiring certain entities to donate surplus food rather than throw it away.
