Pursuant to the California Education Code, the SCCBOE serves as a decision-making body for countywide charter schools and as the appellate body for charter school petitions denied by local school districts, and for interdistrict transfer attendance requests and student expulsions.

Closed Meetings
All regular and special meetings of the County Board are open to the public except those that are "closed sessions." Under the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code 54950, these specific closed meetings may be scheduled for such things as student disciplinary actions, pending litigation, and threats of safety.
Trustee Area Redistricting
After the release of U.S. Census data every 10 years, school district and county board of education trustee area boundaries are evaluated, and necessary adjustments are made to balance population and to meet other state and federal criteria.
The 2020 Census Data was released on August 12, 2021 and the validated redistricting data was finalized by the California Department of Finance on September 27, 2021. The census data showed substantial changes in the area served by the SCCBOE from 2010 to 2020, including an overall population growth of over 158,710 (8.9%) and a total variance of 13.3% based on 2020 Census. This total variance was out of balance and triggered the need for redistricting.

The Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization (County Committee) held a public hearing and subsequently approved the SCCBOE recommended map at its January 10, 2022 meeting. The redistricting will be reflected in the trustee elections of 2022 and 2024.
