    • TRUSTEE AREA REDISTRICTING

       The five elected trustees of the Kings County Board of Education each represent different geographic areas within our county. Like other locally elected boards, the Kings County Board of Education is required to review the population in each trustee area after the release of the Census data to see if any changes need to be made.

      Redistricting is the process by which new trustee area boundaries are drawn.  

      The Kings County Board of Education will conduct a public hearing on December 15, 2021, at 4:00 pm at the Kings County Office of Education, 1144 W. Lacey Boulevard, Hanford, CA.

      In accordance with California Education Code section §1002, following each decennial federal census, an adjustment to the boundaries of any or all of the trustee areas of the county board of education may be made as necessary to meet the population criteria set forth in subdivision (a):

      1) Topography     

      2) Geography

      3) Cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory

      4) Community of interest of the trustee areas.

      All proposed changes will shift a small portion of trustee area 5 to trustee area 3. A review of three (3) proposed maps is available and will remain open for public comment until December 15, 2021.
