Capistrano Unified School District has released updated drafts of adjusted trustee area boundaries, which will be reviewed and discussed at the Board of Trustees’ meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Board Room at the CUSD Education Center, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano.
The drafts, drawn by National Demographics Corporation, can be found at http://bit.ly/zT8p5U.
The trustee area boundary adjustment is a process that occurs once every decade after data from the U.S. Census is updated. In addition, voters approved Measure H in November 2010 that changed the method of electing members of the Board to a “by trustee area” election process. This requires Board members to live in a particular Trustee area, and be elected by voters living within that area. The election scheduled for Nov. 6, 2012, will utilize the new method of election.
The latest drafts have been drawn using criteria approved by the Board of Trustees at its Nov. 14 meeting and refined during its discussions on Dec. 12, 2011, and Jan. 9, 2012.
Members of the public who wish to provide feedback on the draft plans can attend one of the meetings, send their input to redistricting@capousd.org, or mail comments to the Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees, 33122 Valle Road, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675.
A final decision is expected to be made on Jan. 25 or Feb. 13.
