SCCS District Poss Changes 02/05/19A 08:08 S.S.

In  an  effort  to  give  minority  residents  a  louder  voice,  the  Board  Of  Directors  for  the  Santa Cruz  City  Schools  District  is  working  to  change  how  board  members  are  elected.   Board  Members  are  looking  at  breaking  down  their  District  into  distinct  geographic  areas….so  that  the  7  board  members  would  live  in,  and  be  elected  solely  by,   residents  of  those  areas.    This  would  be  similar  to  the  way  Board  Members  are  chosen  in  the  Pajaro  Valley  Unified  School  District,  as  well  as  how  Trustees  are  chosen  for  Cabrillo College;   and  how  Members  are  chosen  for  the  Santa  Cruz  County  Board  Of  Education.  

A public hearing on the potential boundaries is scheduled for tomorrow evening at the next Board of Education meeting, which is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the Board Room at the Santa Cruz County Office of Education.  That’s located at 400 Encinal Street in Santa Cruz.
