New Trustee Area Map for November 2020

The Santa Cruz City Schools Board of Education completed the process of selecting and submitting a new Trustee area to be used in the November 2020 election. With community input and the help of demographers, Trustees were able to refine proposed draft maps to best suit the needs of the community. On May 15, 2019, Trustees voted to adopt Trustee-area boundary Map 102B. Furthermore, Trustees approved the submission of a proposal to the Santa Cruz County Committee on School District Organization for adoption of Trustee-area elections and the preferred Trustee-area boundary map. On June 20, 2019, the Committee on School District Organization approved Trustee-area elections for Santa Cruz City Schools District, and Trustee-area Map 102B.
