Board of education

The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board of Education is composed of five members, elected every four years. The elections are held in November of even-numbered years and are elected by geographical district effective starting with the 2022 elections. The Board of Education has faced criticism due to its racist and discriminatory school practices, such as when they proceeded to shut down schools without consulting the parents and due to the possibly illegal nature of a foreign abroad student program where certain members of the school board are profiting from these business relationships.
