THE REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE YUBA COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION For decreasing the number of members of the county board of education from seven to five - YES For decreasing the number of members of the county board of education from seven to five - NO

Impartial Analysis from No Designation
SUMMARY:

The County Board of Education is presently a seven member (Trustee) board. The County Board of Education is presently divided into seven "Trustee Areas". The Trustee is required to be a resident of the Trustee Area that he or she is elected from.

In accordance with California Education Code the Yuba County Committee on School District Organization adopted a Resolution for the Reduction of the Yuba County Board of Education from seven to five members. The Resolution by state statute constitutes an order of election by the voters on the reduction of the number of members (Trustees).

Measure V reduces the number of governing board members (Trustees) from seven to five members. The reduction in number of members from seven to five would reduce the number of 'Trustee Areas" from seven to five. The boundaries of the Trustee Areas would change so as to be the same as those of supervisorial districts of the county.

If Measure V is approved by a majority of yes votes, the County Board of Education would become a five member board with the supervisorial boundaries as the five "Trustee Areas" of the County Board of Education and a Trustee will be required to be a resident of the Supervisorial District of Trustee Area that they are elected from.

EFFECT OF MEASURE V:

A NO Vote means that you want the number of members of the County Board of Education to continue as a seven member governing board, divided as currently established, into seven Trustee Areas.

A YES Vote means that you want the number of members of the County Board of Education to be reduced from seven to a five member governing board thereby establishing the five Supervisorial Districts as the five Trustee Areas and the Trustees will be required to be a resident of the Supervisorial District of the Trustee Area that they are elected from.

Arguments For Measure V
The Yuba County Committee on School District Organization proposed a reduction in the number of members of the county board of education. Upon the conclusion of a public hearing of the Yuba County Committee on School District Organization, the committee resolved to approve the proposal. The purpose of this measure is for decreasing the number of members of the county board of education from seven to five. This action has the potential for an annual cost savings to the Yuba County Office of Education as well as a cost savings by aligning trustee boundaries with the Yuba County supervisorial districts prior to and including the next decennial census.
