Principal/Administrator Trustee Elected 

One Principal/Administrator was certified for one open position in the Principal/Administrator Trustee election. Because the number of certified candidates for Principal/Administrator Trustee did not exceed the number of open positions, the CTPF Election Committee declared Principal Pedro Beiza elected and cancelled the remaining Principal/Administrator election process. Principal Beiza will serve a three-year term through November 2028.
