Officials outline timeline: public hearings, board decision, state review and May vote
Summary
Staff described the procedural path: three public hearings followed by a board amendment decision, State Board of Education review in January, and a May public vote with a potential July 2026 effective date if approved.
District staff walked through the procedural timeline for the draft deconsolidation plan and the next public meetings.
The presenter said the plan would go through three public hearings (including the one recorded here), and the local board will decide whether to amend the draft after those hearings. If the board forwards the plan, it will be reviewed by the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education; approval at the state level would allow the proposed question to go to voters in May. The draft indicates a potential effective date of July 2026 if the full set of approvals and the voter measure all succeed.
Staff also explained that interim trustees would be appointed by the State Board of Education if the split is approved, with appointments in June and elections to follow in November and trustees taking office the following January per the draft schedule.
