Our Mission
Committee for Education Excellence is a General Purpose Recipient Committee dedicated to electing qualified, independent trustees to K-12 school boards in San Diego County. In the 2026 cycle, our current focus is the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees.
We believe strong school board governance — grounded in accountability, transparency, and a genuine commitment to students — shapes the quality of education for families across San Diego County.

California school board races have no state contribution limits — your support goes directly toward the effort. Contributions of any size make a real difference in a local election.
You can also volunteer, spread the word, and help your community understand what's at stake in the school board races we're supporting.
How to contribute →Why Local School Board Governance Matters
School boards set policy, approve budgets, and provide oversight for the districts they serve — decisions that shape the day-to-day experience of every student and family in the community.
Who sits on a school board shapes curriculum decisions, capital investments, hiring standards, and district culture for years to come. These elections matter — and they're often decided by small margins in local communities.
