SAN JOSE, CA – The Santa Clara County Committee on School District Organization (County Committee) has completed the redistricting process for the trustee area boundaries of the Santa Clara County Board of Education (SCCBOE). At its January 10, 2022 meeting, the County Committee approved new trustee area boundaries for the SCCBOE.
The map recommended by the Santa Clara County Board of Education was presented to the County Committee on January 10, 2022 and was subsequently approved. Professional demographers from Cooperative Strategies, LLC, assisted and provided expertise throughout the redistricting process. The new trustee boundary lines are effective immediately.
After the Census data is released, school district and county board of education trustee area boundaries are re-evaluated and necessary adjustments are made to balance population and meet other state and federal criteria.
The map of the seven areas was adjusted to balance the population, based on 2020 U.S. Census data. 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 is out of balance triggering the need for redistricting.
