State Board clears deconsolidation plan; Mountain View to notify county for May election
Summary
Superintendent reported the State Board of Education unanimously found the district met criteria to proceed with deconsolidation and the county will be notified to schedule an election on the proposal in May.
Superintendent (speaker 3) told trustees that at a recent State Board of Education meeting the board voted unanimously to accept the district's deconsolidation plan, concluding the application met the criteria to move forward. "Notification will be given to the County for an election," she said, and she identified a May election date for voters to decide the proposal's future.
The superintendent characterized the State Board action as an administrative determination that the application met the required standards; she urged trustees and the community to prepare for either outcome. If voters approve deconsolidation, the district would need to plan for two separate districts; if voters reject it, the superintendent urged communication and reconciliation to move forward together.
The board did not take a final action on deconsolidation at this meeting; the superintendent encouraged community outreach and emphasized the May election as the decisive step for voters.
