The Campbell Union High School District’s Board of Trustees is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where trustees are elected by voters of the entire District. On May 16, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution #56-05-16-19, 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 June 13, 2019, the demographer presented three (3) proposed trustee area maps to the Board and the Board held the first of two statutorily required public hearings to receive community input on the proposed trustee area maps, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(2). On July 3, 2019, the District published four (4) additional proposed trustee-area maps. On July 11, 2019, the Board held the second statutorily required public hearing to receive community input on the proposed trustee area maps and the proposed sequence of elections.
Education Code Sections 5019 and 5030 authorize the Santa Clara County Committee on School Reorganization (“County Committee”), upon application from a school district’s governing board, to change the method of election in a school district under its jurisdiction. On July 25, 2019, the Board will hold a public hearing to receive community input regarding the proposed trustee area maps and the transition to trustee areas. The Board will then consider choosing a preferred trustee area map and adopting Resolution #02-07-25-19, Resolution Approving Transition to Trustee Areas, which would then be submitted to the County Committee.
All of the proposed trustee area maps are posted on the Campbell Union High School District’s website (https://www.cuhsd.org) and available to view at the District Office.
