Quick Summary / Abstract:
|
Board consideration/action on Resolution of Intent to Initiate a Transition from At-Large to By-Trustee Area Board Elections Commencing with the 2026 Board Election.
|
|
Background:
|
The Board of Trustees of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District is currently elected “at-large,” meaning that each Board member is elected by voters of the entire District.
Adoption of this resolution will be the first step in moving to by-trustee area elections. Multiple public hearings will be held regarding the creation of the proposed trustee areas.
|
|
Status
:
|
Transitioning from at-large to “by-trustee area” elections, where each Board member must reside within a designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area, minimizes the potential for impermissible racially polarized voting, and further limits the possibility for costly litigation under the California Voting Rights Act (Elec. Code, § 14025, et seq.) (CVRA).
|
|
Fiscal Impact
:
|
Approving this Resolution has little impact on the General Fund.
|
|
Superintendent's Recommendation:
|
Approve Resolution No. 010-24/25, Intent to Initiate a Transition from At-Large to By-Trustee Area Board Elections Commencing with the 2026 Board Election.
