11. PUBLIC HEARING/ACTION ITEM

11.1. Public Hearing to Seek Input Regarding Content of Trustee-Area Maps and Proposed Sequence of Elections

Rationale:

The Campbell Union School District’s Governing Board is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where Board members are elected by voters of the entire District.  Board members are elected in even-numbered years and serve staggered, four-year terms, such that the next election for two seats is scheduled for November 2020, with the remaining 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 October 3, 2019, after two public hearings to gather community input on the trustee-area map process, the Board adopted resolution # 2019-20-14 selecting criteria to guide the District’s demographers in preparing draft trustee area maps.

On October 17, 2019, the District timely published two (2) proposed trustee area maps on the District’s website for consideration by the Board and the community.  On October 24, 2019, the proposed trustee area maps were presented to the Board.  Following the presentation, the Board held the first of two statutorily required public hearings to receive community input on the proposed trustee-area maps and the proposed sequence of elections, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(2).

On November 7, 2019, the Board will hold the second of two statutorily required public hearings to receive community input regarding the draft trustee-area maps and the proposed sequence of elections, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(2).









 
Minutes:
Governing Board President, Michael Snyder, opened the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. in order to receive comments from the public on the two proposed trustee-area maps and the proposed elections sequence, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(2).

Dr. Jeff Tilton of National Demographics Corporation presented two proposed trustee-area maps for Campbell Union School District along with information on the process for drawing the maps.

There being no comments President Snyder declared the public hearing closed at 7:31 p.m.

Rationale:

The English Learner Master Plan has been developed using state and federal guidelines.  The District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) reviewed and were asked to comment/provide input on the plan in the following areas during the October 17, 2019 DELAC Meeting:

  • The district-wide needs assessment (completed yearly – This year it was completed on 10/17/19.)
  • The EL Programs/Services, goals, and objectives
  • Teacher and Instructional Aide Requirements
  • Reclassification criteria
  • Written notices
  • Any other section of the plan they wished to discuss

The DELAC Members did not have any additional advice on the development on this plan for CUSD or CUSD’s Governing Board.

The reclassification criteria, starting on pages 13 and then again on 25, are pending board approval.  After additional guidance from the state, the state is requiring the removal of sub-scores needed for the ELPAC criterion for reclassification.  The ELPAC criterion across the state is now overall level 4.
