Summary:
|
For school districts that elect members of their governing boards by trustee area, like the Perris Union High School District, the 2020 Census brings new obligations and processes to follow in advance of the 2022 elections. These school districts are required to review the population balance within their trustee voting areas following the release of each decennial Census. Specifically, Section 5019.5 of the Education Code requires school districts with trustee area elections to review and adjust the boundaries of any or all trustee areas of the district to ensure that each trustee area is roughly equal in total population to the other trustee areas. This process is called redistricting.
The Education Code gives school districts until February 28 of the year following the release of the decennial Census data to adjust those areas. Given the recent release of the 2020 Census data this year, that translates to a February 28, 2022 deadline to review and make any adjustments to trustee areas. If any district does not make adjustments to its trustee areas by this deadline, the County Committee on School District Organization is obligated to adjust trustee areas on behalf of that school district.
Candace Reines, Deputy Superintendent of Business Services, will provide a presentation to the Board of Trustees with additional background information as well as an analysis of the 2010 and 2020 Census data. She will also review a proposed approach to redistricting, including possible new trustee areas for consideration at a subsequent meeting of the Board of Trustees.
