  § 713. GEOGRAPHIC SUB-DISTRICTS.

Latest version.

  • A.

    Geographic sub-districts for the Board of Education shall be established by resolution of the Pasadena Board of Education after the decennial census year or whenever the Board determines by at least a two-thirds vote that a sufficient change in population has occurred that makes it desirable in the opinion of the Board to adjust the boundaries of the geographic sub-districts. Geographic sub-districts shall be as nearly equal in population as practicable and such redistricting shall be in compliance with applicable laws.

    B.

    At least twenty-two (22) months prior to the second general election day following the day of the decennial census, the Board of Education shall establish, by resolution, a Redistricting Commission to recommend to the Board the configuration of geographic sub-districts for the area served by the Pasadena Unified School District. The Redistricting Commission shall consist of nine members, as follows:

    1.

    Three residents of the City of Pasadena appointed by the Pasadena City Council;

    2.

    Three residents of the area served by the Pasadena Unified School District appointed by the Pasadena Board of Education who are not then members of the Board of Education;

    3.

    Two residents of the Altadena unincorporated area of Los Angeles County served by the Pasadena Unified School District appointed by the County Supervisor(s) representing such area;

    4.

    One resident of the City of Sierra Madre to be appointed by the City Council of the City of Sierra Madre;

    C.

    The Redistricting Commission shall hold at least one public hearing on any proposal to adjust the boundaries of a district prior to a public hearing at which the Redistricting Commission votes to recommend the proposal to the Board of Education. The Redistricting Commission shall provide its recommendation to the Board of Education at least sixteen (16) months prior to the second general election day following the day of the decennial census.

    D.

    The geographic sub-districts recommended by the Redistricting Commission shall be adopted by the Board, unless amended by a two-thirds majority of the Board. If the Board fails to act within 60 calendar days of the submission of the Commission's final report and recommended plan to the Superintendent, the Commission's recommended geographic sub-districts shall be deemed adopted.

    E.

    No change in the boundary or location of any district by redistricting shall abolish or terminate the term of office of any member of the Board prior to expiration of the term of office for which the member was elected, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section. Each incumbent member of the Board of Education will, during the duration of the member's current term, represent the area by which the member was elected.

    F.

    At the time of, or after, any annexation of territory to the District, the Board of Education shall designate, by resolution, the geographic sub-district of which the annexed territory shall be a part.
