Crafton, Secretary Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization and Director, Division of Business Advisory Services SUBJECT: Nominations for Membership on the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization The Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization (County Committee) is an 11 member body charged by the legislature with responsibilities in the area of school district organization, unification, formation, boundary changes, how governing board members are elected, and the establishment and abolition of trustee areas. The County Committee is comprised of two members representing each of the five Supervisorial districts, plus one member elected at-large. VACANCIES ON THE COUNTY COMMITTEE This Fall, the following four-year terms of office on the County Committee will be filled by election, and the candidates will serve through the end of 2020: Mr. John Nunez (First Supervisorial District); Mr. Frank Bostrom (Fourth Supervisorial District); Mr. Joel Peterson (Fifth Supervisorial District); Per Education Code (EC) provisions, these seats will be filled by an election. Therefore, the County Committee requests that the governing board of each school and community college district submit nominations for membership on the County Committee to fill these three seats. Please follow the guidelines under Nominee Requirements and Nomination Process as outlined below for the above vacancies.
Nominations for Membership on the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization July 19, 2016 Page 2 NOMINEE REQUIREMENTS Any nominee must be available to serve the term of office, which will begin on the date of election in Fall 2016, and expire on the date of election in Fall 2020. All nominees for the seats in the First, Fourth, and Fifth Supervisorial Districts must reside in those districts. Attached are maps of the First, Fourth, and Fifth Supervisorial Districts, (Attachment 1, 2, and 3), and a listing of school districts and community college districts which fall partially or fully within their respective Supervisorial District(s) (Attachment 4). All nominees must be registered voters. Employees of school and community college districts, and county offices of education, are excluded from membership on the County Committee. A member of a school or community college district governing board, who is otherwise eligible, may simultaneously serve as a member of the County Committee. To ensure representation is balanced and diverse, the County Committee encourages school and community college districts to additionally consider nominating non-school district community leaders/individuals to serve on the County Committee. The County Committee members whose terms are expiring this year are eligible to be nominated to serve another term of office, as there is no limit on the number of terms a County Committee member may serve. NOMINATION PROCESS A governing board may submit more than one nomination. A governing board may nominate an individual who resides outside their district. A governing board wishing to submit a nomination(s) must send the name(s) of the nominee(s), accompanied by a biographical sketch not to exceed 200 words, to the attention of Ms. Anna Heredia, by August 26, 2016. Please submit all nominations via email to Heredia_Anna@lacoe.edu: Nominations may also be made from the floor during the annual meeting where the election of members will take place. Residency requirements and the nominee s willingness to serve must first be validated before these candidates can be seated. ELECTION PROCESS The election of members to the County Committee will take place at an annual meeting of the voting representatives of the governing boards of school and community college districts called for that purpose.
Nominations for Membership on the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization July 19, 2016 Page 3 The annual meeting will be held in conjunction with the fall meeting of the Los Angeles County School Trustees Association. Information concerning the date, time, and location of this meeting will be distributed as soon as it is available. The election is an at-large election. The voting representative from each district governing board will cast a vote for each vacant position. It is not necessary for a district to fall within the boundaries of a Supervisorial district where a vacancy exists in order to make a nomination or to cast a vote. The person from your district entitled to vote at the annual meeting is the person selected by your board pursuant to EC 35023 (K-12 school districts), or EC 72403 (community college districts). The voting representative may opt to vote by using an electronic absentee ballot in lieu of casting a vote at the annual meeting. Using electronic absentee ballot is the preferred method. Your district s voting representative will receive biographical information on the candidates and voting instructions prior to the meeting. An electronic absentee ballot will also be provided to districts desiring to utilize this method of voting in lieu of attending the annual meeting to cast a vote. This bulletin is available on the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) website at the following address: www.lacoe.edu/bulletins Use the Search function to locate a specific bulletin by number or keyword.
