Gary Pritchard, a parent, Cerritos Community College dean, and former Capistrano Unified school board president is seeking to represent Trustee Area 4—covering Laguna Niguel and Dana Point in the Nov. 8 elections.
Pritchard, who previously served on the board for Area 5 from 2010 to 2019, said if elected, he would focus on fiscal responsibility, cut wasteful spending, “stand up to Sacramento bureaucrats,” and make student safety a priority.
“I’m invested in our community, but more importantly, I’m invested in our kids,” Pritchard, who did not respond to a request to be interviewed for this story, says on his campaign website.

His opponents are James Glantz, an education consultant and businessman, and software developer Darin Patel. The schools that fall in Area 4 are Hidden Hills Elementary, John Malcom Elementary, Moulton Elementary, George White Elementary, Laguna Niguel Elementary, and Dana Hills High School….
