County Committee

The County Committee is an 11-member committee (two from each of the five county supervisorial districts and one member serving at-large) that plays a major role in the review and approval of proposals to change school district organization in the county. The committee formulates plans, responds to petitions, conducts public hearings, develops and releases information, and analyses proposals throughout the approval process of any reorganizational plan.

School District Reorganization can refer to any one of the following:
1. Transfer of territory between/among school districts
2. School district unification or de-unification
3. Dissolution or lapsation of a school district
4. Annexation of all or part of one district to another district
5. Establishment/abolishment of trustee areas and increase/decrease in the number of trustees
6. Formation of new districts of all types from territory of existing districts

Any proposal to reorganize a school district must be considered by the County
Committee for public hearing and decision or recommendation. Any action taken by the County Committee may be appealed to the State Board of Education (SBE).
