NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Public Hearing Before the Governing Board of the Pacific Grove Unified School District Pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, Subdivision (a)
The Pacific Grove Unified School District (“District”) Board of Education is currently elected using an “at-large” election system, where Board members are elected by voters of the entire District. Trustees are elected in even-numbered years and serve staggered, four-year terms, such that the next election for three (3) trustees is scheduled for November 2022, with the remaining trustee seats scheduled for election in November 2024. On April 22, 2021, the District Board adopted
Resolution No. 1069, declaring its intent to transition 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.
On August 19 and September 16, 2021, the District Board held two public hearings to receive input from the community on the trustee-area map creation process, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(1). On November 2, 2021, the District Board held an additional town hall meeting to allow members of the community to provide input and dialogue regarding what the Board should consider in creating trustee area boundary maps. On January 20 and February 10, 2022, the District Board held two public hearings to receive community input on the draft trustee area boundary maps, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(2), which are available above. After reviewing each of the seven maps, the Board eliminated the Green, Orange, Silver, Monarch, and Cypress Maps from consideration.
Notice is hereby given that the District Board will conduct another public hearing to receive community input on the two maps still in consideration (Teal and Lupine). Following the public hearing, the Board will vote to select a preferred trustee area map and election sequencing, to be submitted to the Monterey County Committee on School District Organization for consideration. The public hearing will occur as follows:
Date: Thursday, March 3, 2022
Time: 6:30 p.m. (or at such point the Board reaches the item on the agenda)
