Due to the population growth identified in the Etiwanda School District during the 2020 Census, ESD was required to update Trustee Area Maps. A demographer provided the Board with four Trustee Area map options that comply with the requirements of the California Voting Rights Act and California Education Code Section 5019.5.

The Board of Trustees evaluated and discussed four Trustee Area map scenarios with adjusted boundaries at the November 18, 2021 Board meeting and selected two maps for further consideration and public input. The Board received public input on the two maps on December 16, 2021, and January 20, 2022, and voted to select an updated map on January 20, 2022. The selected map was submitted to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters to be used for the November 2022 Board elections. 

Why does an adjustment to a district' Trustee Area boundary need to occur?
Census results may indicate an imbalance in population size between the largest and smallest Trustee Areas. ESD is required by Federal and State law to ensure a population variance of no greater than 10% between the smallest and largest Trustee Areas. 

Will this impact where my student goes to school?
No, the adjustment of the district’s Trustee Area Maps will have no impact on school attendance zones. The adjustment only affects which Board Trustee you may vote for in an election.

When will this adjustment go into effect?
The current Trustee Area Map will be in effect for the November 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, and 2030 elections. The 2030 Census may result in new adjustments to Trustee areas for the 2032 election.
