Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) completed the process to transition from at-large to by-trustee area elections effective 2020. Every ten years, after the U.S. Census data is released, school districts are required to evaluate whether their current trustee areas have approximately equal populations using the new census data. Due to the Covid pandemic, the Census Bureau released its data over six months behind schedule. However, upon the recent 2020 Census data release, MDUSD began the process of evaluating each of its trustee areas for population balance. The variation in total population among trustee areas cannot exceed 10%. If the total peak variation is less than 10%, no changes are needed. If the total peak variation exceeds 10% then trustee area boundaries will need to be adjusted. This process is referred to as redistricting. Trustee areas must be made as equal in population as possible and practicable to provide equal access to political representation consistent with the one person, one vote constitutional principle.

The District has engaged professional demographer Cooperative Strategies to conduct the required evaluation and draft revised map scenarios based on recommended criteria for consideration by the Trustees and public. Staff will present the results of the initial evaluation, as well as proposed scenarios for evaluation and review by the Board February 9, 2022. Staff will bring forth any revised or potential additional scenarios for review and adoption following public hearing to take place at the next Board meeting on February 23, 2022.
