On January 10, the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board of Trustees will consider public input on Draft Map A and Draft Map C in preparation for choosing a final trustee area boundary map.
The board invites your comments as it contemplates this decision.
These include sending your written comments to TrusteeAreas@fhda.edu and attending the Jan. 10 public hearing, which is scheduled for 7 p.m., at the District Office Building (D700) on the Foothill College campus, 12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills, in the Board Room (Room 101).
The map that the board ultimately adopts could affect the communities of Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto and small portions of San Jose, Santa Clara, and Saratoga.
Draft Map A follows city boundaries and seeks to keep cities as whole as possible to create five trustee areas of roughly equal population size
Draft Map C prioritizes school boundaries, with city boundaries as the second priority, to create five trustee areas of roughly equal population size.
In December, trustees selected those two possible maps for dividing the district into five trustee areas for electing members of the governing board. Under the new election system, rather than electing trustees who live anywhere in the district, voters will elect one resident from each of the five areas to serve on the board. The change is meant to ensure equitable representation of all areas and population groups.
