MSJC Seeks Applicants for Vacancy on Board
10/4/2023
Mt. San Jacinto College is seeking applicants interested in filling a seat left vacant after former Trustee Joshua Rivera resigned to relocate outside of his Trustee Area. The board decided at a special meeting on Oct. 2, 2023, to make a provisional appointment to cover the remainder of Rivera’s term. His seat is up for election in November 2024.
The decision to make a provisional appointment saves the college district $250,000, which is the cost to hold a special election. Qualified candidates must live in Trustee Area 2, which covers parts of San Jacinto and most of Hemet.
During the special meeting, the board selected Trustee Brian Sylva to serve as board chair and Trustee Jhalister Corona to serve as clerk of the board. Previously, Rivera served as chair and Sylva served as clerk. The board will hold its annual organizational meeting in December.
Applications will be available beginning at 8:00 AM on beginning on Thursday, October 5, 2023 through 4:30 PM on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at the Temecula Valley Campus, front lobby, 41888 Motor Car Parkway, Temecula, CA 92591, or on the District web site msjc.edu under Notice of Board of Trustees Vacancy. Please submit completed applications to Jacqua Morrison at jmorrison@msjc.edu or in-person at 41888 Motor Car Parkway, Temecula, CA 92591, front lobby, made to the attention of President’s Office/Jacqua Morrison.
Applications and supplemental information are available on the website under the Notice of Board of Trustees Vacancy.
Interviews will be conducted during a public meeting to be held at the Temecula Valley Campus, 3rd Floor Board Room (TA-301), 41888 Motor Car Parkway, Temecula, CA, 92591, on Monday, October 30, 2023 at 4:00 PM At that time, the public will have the opportunity to comment.
