Area Boundary Public Forums

The FRC and PUSD/PCOE boards request public input for drafting trustee area map boundaries according to the following criteria:

Required criteria for trustee areas:

balanced populations;
no gerrymandering of boundaries;
boundaries shall not result in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen to vote on account of race or color

Optional criteria for trustee areas:

compactness;
contiguity;
observe communities of interest such as high school attendance areas, rural or urban populations, municipalities, social interests; visible features such as topography and geography, and major highways, waterways, etc.

Both boards have voiced that the following considerations be used when developing trustee area boundaries:

Target numbers of voters within 5% range from mean
Do not split any contiguous small community (i.e. Graeagle, Greenville, Crescent Mills, Meadow Valley, etc.)
Do not create an island in the larger population areas (i.e. Quincy) as one trustee area surrounded by a single other trustee area.
When possible, follow Board of Supervisors boundaries, except do not split east Quincy if possible
Use roads as dividing lines between areas
Split high school boundaries only when necessary
