COLLEGE OF THE SEQUOIAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT Board of Trustees Meeting
November 8, 2021
REDISTRICTING FOR GOVERNING BOARD 1 ELECTIONS PRESENTATION Status: Information
Presented by: Brent Calvin, Ed.D.
Superintendent/President
Issue The decennial census marks the time for certain local government entities to redistrict, including community college districts. The COS District is subject to mandatory redistricting pursuant to Education Code 5019.5. If the COS District does not redistrict before March 1, 2022, the county committee on school re-organization is required to redistrict by April 30, 2022. Background California Community College District governing boards are subject to the federal Voting Rights Act and the one person, one vote principle of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Voting Rights Act prohibits electoral systems that deny or abridge the voting rights of protected racial and language minority groups. The one person, once vote principle requires that governing board member districts be as equal in population as possible and that election systems that are at-large meet the one person, one vote test. In the COS District, the trustees are required to be residents of a particular ward and their districts must meet the requirements of the Voting Rights Act. The COS District completed the redistricting process in 1991/1992, 2001/2002, and 2011/12 without challenge. Process The COS District is working with legal counsel, Nielsen-Merksamer, and demographers to ensure voting rights to protected racial and language minority groups; and that the five wards in the COS District are as equal in population as possible. When the Board of Trustees are satisfied that the best option has been developed, they will forward their approved redistricting option to the County Committee on School District Re-organization (chaired by the County Superintendent of Schools). Recommended Action At the November 8 board meeting, Nielsen-Merksamer and Lapkoff & Gobalet Demographic Research, will present draft maps and invite public testimony.

Why Are We Doing This?• Every 10 years the federal government conducts the Census,
and each school district must update its trustee areas to reflect the latest population counts, so that they are equal in population.
• Requirement is both statutory, see Education Code § 5019.5(a), and constitutional, see Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964).
• The current trustee areas were adopted in 2011, using 2010 Census data.
