The Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) invites families, students, community and business leaders, and other stakeholders to attend one of seven community input forums spread over three days to review and provide feedback on draft maps for future by-trustee area elections.
As it transitions to the by-trustee area elections system model, MDUSD will be organized into five individual trustee areas.
Previously, trustees were elected by voters of the entire district.
In the new process, trustees will be elected by the voters living within the trustee’s respective area. Input gathered from the public during these two hearings will help determine the criteria used by a demographer in drafting the new trustee area maps.
Information about the process is available at https://mdusd-ca.schoolloop.com/boardelections.
WHEN/WHERE: The community forums will be held as follows:
Translations from English to Spanish and American Sign Language will be available upon request. Families who would like to have other languages available are asked to call Arlina Diaz, Translation Services, at (925) 682-8000, ext. 4045 or diaza@mdusd.org so we can work toward locating interpreters.
The draft maps will be posted on the District website by September 16, 2019. A public hearing will be held at the Board of Education’s regular meeting on Monday, September 23, 2019, to review the maps.
Actions may be taken at that meeting to narrow the number of maps for final consideration, make further revisions to the draft maps, and/or create a new map. All versions would then be reviewed at a public hearing in October.
What the heck? Are we gonna pay out good money for “new demographics” before every election. Did the population change dramatically since we paid for the previous study?
NO???
Well leave it alone, then! Geeeesh!
