As you may be aware, on March 7, 2023, the FUHSD Board of Trustees passed a resolution indicating its intention to transition Governing Board elections from At-Large Elections to By-Trustee Area Elections. As part of this transition, the district has been seeking input from the community on the development of the trustee area boundary maps for the last seven months. (Please note this is not a boundary change for school attendance areas, rather a change in how the Board is elected).
As required by law, the Board held two pre-map hearings on Aug. 22, 2023 and Sept. 19, 2023. Two map hearings have already been held, on October 17, 2023 (first set of draft map scenarios presented by the district’s demographers) and Feb. 27, 2024 (general update). The final two map hearings are as follows:
- Wednesday, March 20, 2024: CTAD presents first recommendation to the Board on a second set of draft community-based draft map scenarios
- Wednesday, April 24, 2024: CTAD presents final recommendation to the Board and the Board chooses a final map and sequencing
The second set of draft community-based map scenarios is now available on our Mapping webpage for community review. These scenarios are labeled as Scenarios 5 through 7. Using the Web App link on this webpage, you can see all of the scenarios presented to date, and have the ability to zoom in to the street level detail in each map. You can also overlay city, school district, feeder district and neighborhood boundaries on each map.
Community members will have the opportunity to provide feedback on this second set of draft map scenarios, until April 3, in several ways:
- Provide feedback by emailing trusteeareas@fuhsd.org
