East San Jose school district chooses a new trustee

Just two weeks after an East San Jose school board member quit, the board has chosen a replacement – and it’s a familiar face.

After two hours of deliberation, Andrea Flores Shelton was named the Alum Rock Union School District’s newest trustee at a special board meeting Monday night. Flores Shelton beat out three other contenders for the role. She will serve until December 2024.
