- Micah Grant – Natomas Unified school board member
The following candidates had filed paperwork for Trustee Area 5 (in alphabetical order):

Incumbent Ericka Harden was the only candidate who filed paperwork for Trustee Area 2 and automatically retains her seat on the school board for another four-year term.
