The Campbell Union School District’s Governing Board is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where trustees are elected by voters of the entire District. On September 19, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution #2019-20-10, declaring its intent to transition from at-large to by-trustee area Board elections, where each Board member must reside within the designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area.
On October 24, 2019, at 155 N. Third Street, Campbell, the demographer’s proposed trustee area maps will be presented to the Board.* Following the presentation, the Board will hold the first of two required public hearings to receive community input on the proposed trustee-area maps and sequence of elections.
Pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(2), the proposed trustee area maps will be published seven days before they are presented to the Board on October 24, 2019. The proposed trustee area maps will be posted on Campbell Union School District’s website and also available to view at the District Office starting on October 17, 2019.
*Please note: Trustee area maps do NOT alter school attendance area boundaries.
Great teachers are at the center of student achievement, especially in core academic and advanced programs, and State funding is critical to keeping teachers hired, class sizes down, and quality instruction for all students. Over the past few years, the district has experienced a high turnover of teachers, due to the cost of living in the Silicon Valley. Dozens of highly-qualified teachers have left for more affordable areas. Without additional funding, our neighborhood elementary and middle schools may continue to lose great teachers.
Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.
