REDEFINING TRUSTEE ZONES

The boundaries of the trustee zones in this district are to be defined and drawn so that, as reasonably as may be, each such zone shall have approximately the same population.

The board of trustees will initiate a proposal to redefine and change trustee zones at the first meeting following the report of the decennial census. In addition, the board or a patron may propose that a trustee zone be redefined at any time. Within 120 days following the report of the decennial census or the receipt of a petition to redefine and change the trustee zones, the board will prepare a proposal for a change which will equalize the population in each trustee zone. The proposal will include a legal description of each trustee zone as the same would appear pursuant to the proposal, a map of the district showing how each trustee zone would appear, and the approximate population each trustee zone would have, should the proposal become effective.

Trustee zones in this district will be determined to have approximately the same population when the populations of each trustee zone do not vary by more than ten percent. The superintendent or designee will be authorized to review the decennial census, or any proposal to change trustee zone boundaries, and determine whether there has been a shift in population which causes the current trustee zones to not contain approximately the same populations. If it is determined that the population has changed so that the trustee zones are not of approximately the same population, the board will appoint a committee, composed of interested parties, to review the matter. The committee will propose to the board modifications to the trustee zone boundaries which are intended to equalize the population in the various trustee zones.

The proposal will be submitted to the State Board of Education for approval. The State Board of Education will approve or disapprove of the proposal within 60 days and give notice of its decision to the board in writing. If approved, the trustee zones will change pursuant to the proposal. If disapproved, the board must submit a revised proposal to the State Board of Education within 45 days.

IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPOSAL TO REDEFINE TRUSTEE ZONES

At the next regular meeting of the board following the approval of the proposal, the board will appoint from its membership a trustee for each new trustee zone to serve as trustee until that incumbent trustee’s three-year term expires. If the current board membership includes two incumbent trustees from the same new trustee zone, the board will select the incumbent trustee with the most seniority as the trustee to serve the remainder of his or her three-year term. If both incumbent trustees have equal seniority, the board will choose one of the trustees by the drawing of lots. If there is a trustee vacancy in any trustee zone, the board will appoint an individual residing in the trustee zone to serve as trustee until the next annual meeting.
