10.4. Consider Adoption Of Resolution #2019-20-28, Summarizing The Adoption Of By-Trustee Area Elections

Rationale:

The Campbell Union School District’s Governing Board was elected under an “at-large” election system, where Board members are elected by voters of the entire District.  On September 19, 2019, the Board adopted resolution # 2019-20-10, declaring its intent to transition from at-large to by-trustee area Board elections, where each Board member must reside within the designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area. 

The District subsequently held several public hearings to gather community input regarding all aspects of the transition to by-trustee area elections, including the criteria for establishing by-trustee area boundaries, the composition of the draft trustee-area maps, and the sequence of elections. The Board considered community input before adopting Resolution #2019-20-22, recommending adoption of by-trustee area elections and the adoption of the Purple Map. On December 9, 2019, following a public hearing, the Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization approved the District’s transition to by-trustee areas and adoption of the Purple Map.

Resolution #2019-20-28 summarizes the actions taken by the Governing Board and the Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization to transition the District to a by-trustee area election system.

Upon approval of Resolution #2019-20-28, the Superintendent or designee will provide a copy of the signed resolution to the Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools and will work with the Santa Clara County Election’s Office to conduct the acts necessary so that by-trustee area elections can be implemented in the election cycles scheduled in 2020 and 2022.



 
Actions:
Motion

Adopt Resolution #2019-20-28 Resolution Of The Governing Board Of The Campbell Union School District Summarizing The Adoption Of By-Trustee Area Elections and direct staff to provide a copy of the signed resolution to Santa Clara County Superintendent of Schools and work with the Santa Clara County Election’s Office to conduct the acts necessary so that by-trustee area elections can be implemented in the election cycles scheduled in 2020 and 2022.
