Santa Clara County Schools Chief
Calls for Berryessa Special Election

SAN JOSE, CA – Dr. Colleen Wilcox, Santa Clara County schools superintendent, has ordered a special election to fill the trustee position vacated by the resignation of Kansen Chu from the board of trustees of the Berryessa Union School District.

Dr. Wilcox determined that a petition received by her office on Sept. 11, 2007, to call for the election was valid. Today she notified the Santa Clara County registrar of voters of the determination and of her call for the special election.

She also proposed to the registrar that the election be consolidated with the regular election scheduled for February 5, 2008.

The determination means that the board's provisional appointment to the position is terminated immediately.
