12 Process Review Criteria 2. Draft Plans 3. Public Hearing on Draft Plans 4. Committee consideration of Draft Plans 5. Committee adoption of a Final Plan 6. State Board of Education Approval of Election Waiver

13 Required Criteria: Federal Laws 13 Population Equality among trustee areas Total population: not voting age population, citizens, or voters Substantial equality Total deviation up to 10% is presumptively constitutional. 10% is not, however, a safe harbor deviation must be justified by legitimate considerations incident to the effectuation of a rational state policy. Federal Voting Rights Act Compliance with Section 2: Ensure equal power to elect candidates of choice Protected Class populations must have an equal opportunity to elect the candidates of their choice No packing or cracking No racial gerrymandering Race may not be the predominate factor Focus on communities and neighborhoods, not race/ethnicity

14 Traditional Redistricting Criteria 14 Listed in the California Elections Code: Topography Geography Cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, & compactness of territory Community of interests Definition of a Community of interest Neighborhoods, especially school attendance areas, are common communities of interest in districting. Community should also indicate whether their preference is to be kept united (the most common view), or have a voice in multiple trustee areas?

15 Additional Allowed Criteria 15 From Various Court Rulings: Respecting the boundaries of political subdivisions (e.g., school attendance areas, city boundaries, precinct boundaries, etc.). Use of whole census geography (e.g., census blocks). Avoiding head-to-head contests between incumbents. Anticipating future population shifts.

16 Allowed and Banned Considerations 16 Discretionary Criteria: Consistent with the required criteria, individual districts may establish other criteria to address unique local concerns. Forbidden Considerations: May not use race as predominant factor, unless there is a compelling state interest.

17 Next Steps & Public Input 17 Initial Steps: Direction on any changes to criteria NDC will draw initial draft plans (public input welcome) Public hearing on draft plans Public Input is highly encouraged: Public input is important and welcomed at every stage At any time: call, write, or any thoughts, suggestions or draft plans Attend public hearing Attend Board meeting Attend County Committee meeting
