Opposition
Two of the five seats on the El Rancho Unified School District Board of Education were up for general election on November 3, 2015. The election was held at large.[3][4] The seats held by incumbents Delia Alvidrez and Alfred Renteria were on the ballot.[5]
Alvidrez did not file to run for re-election, ensuring at least one newcomer would join the board. Renteria ran against five challengers: Raul Elias, Victor "Coach" Gonzalez, Teresa Lugo Merino, Gabriel Orosco and Arlene Perez.[1] Renteria lost his bid for re-election, and Merino and Orosco won the two board seats.[2]

Funding
At the time of this election, the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk did not publish school board candidate campaign finance reports online. Ballotpedia staffers requested this information, but the only free method of viewing the files was at their office.
The Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk targeted the end of 2018 to make school board candidate campaign finance reports available online for free. From that point forward, Ballotpedia began including campaign finance data for Los Angeles County school board candidates.[6][7][8]
The first campaign finance reporting deadline was September 24, 2015, and the second one was October 22, 2015. If candidates raised or spent more than $1,000 from a single source, including their own funds, between August 5, 2015, and November 2, 2015, they had to file a campaign finance report within 24 hours.[9]
