7. PUBLIC HEARING

7.1. Public Hearing: First Hearing Regarding Potential Composition Of Trustee-Areas Prior To Drawing Of Maps

Rationale:

The Campbell Union School District’s Board of Trustees is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where trustees are elected by voters for the entire District. Trustees are elected in even-numbered years and serve staggered, four-year terms, such that the next election for two trustees is scheduled for November 2020, with the remaining trustee seats scheduled for election in November 2022.

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. 

On September 23, 2019, the District’s demographers, National Demographics Corporation, will present information on the process and potential criteria for drawing the trustee-area boundary maps. Following the presentation, the Board will hold the first of two statutorily required hearings to receive input from the community on the trustee-area map creation process and elections sequence, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(1).



 
Minutes:
Governing Board President, Michael Snyder, opened the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. in order to receive comments from the public on the trustee-area map creation process and elections sequence, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(1).
