The incumbents, Nathan Williams, and Dorian Baker, will continue to serve their terms, which expire in Dec. 2024.

Newly appointed trustees take the oath of allegiance following their election to the board.  An organizational meeting takes place every December of each year, seating new members or reorganizing the existing make of the board.

“A couple of my main priorities are to work on our children’s learning loss, increasing test scores, and getting our parents involved in their children’s education,” said McCoy, “We can not expect the teachers to do all of the work! It is a team effort and children need their parent’s support not only for home stuff, but for school stuff as well… So I would like to challenge all Paso Robles School District parents to turn things up a few more notches and let’s show up for our kids and their education on a more personal level and partner up with the teachers and show your support. We all have busy lives, but if we don’t start now in supporting our children we will lose them forever.”
