First Election Held Utilizing Trustee Areas |
No, the district’s transition from at-large to by-trustee area voting will have no impact on school attendance zones.
How many trustee areas will be established?
Five separate by-trustee voting areas will be established within the district boundary map.
How will BOUSD determine the trustee area map?
The district will retain demographers to develop several map options for purposes of discussion. Public hearings will be conducted prior to the creation of map options. After receiving community feedback and additional input from the Board of Education, trustee map areas will be created.
When will this change go into effect?
By-trustee area voting will first be in place for the 2020 General Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
