May 22nd Update: 

At its May 22, 2024, Board Meeting the Monrovia Unified School Board selected map “Maroon 2” and approved a petition to the Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization that the Committee hold a hearing, approve the map and election sequence, and waive the election requirement to implement the approved map.

The County Committee hearing will be held at the Monrovia USD School Board chamber at 7:00 PM on June 17, 2024.

 Proposed Draft Maps Election Year Sequencing:

Trustees Anderson, Gholar and Hammond end their current terms this year, meaning three trustee areas will hold 2024 elections (but not necessarily the trustee areas they reside in). The other two trustee areas will hold their first elections in 2026.

The Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization interprets the California Education Code as dictating that if a 2024 trustee and a 2026 trustee end up in the same trustee area, that trustee area must be assigned to the 2026 election cycle. This dictates the election sequence assignments for each proposed map listed in the table below.

Important note: trustee names in the table below indicate which trustees are in which trustee areas. In some maps, this is not the year that trustee’s term ends, because one or two 2024-term trustees end up in a 2026 trustee area in each map.

State-Mandated Elections Code Section 21130(b)(1) Disclosure:

California Elections Code Section 21130(b)(1) states:
Consistent with the districting body’s existing obligations under the federal Voting Rights Act, the districting body shall determine whether it is possible to create an election district or districts in which a minority group is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district, as set forth in Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986), and as interpreted in case law regarding enforcement of the federal Voting Rights Act with respect to redistricting. The districting body shall publish on its redistricting web page, at a minimum, the results of its analysis within seven days of completing the analysis or prior to adopting election district boundaries, whichever occurs first.

Disclosure:
National Demographics Corporation (NDC), on behalf of the Monrovia Unified School District, has analyzed the jurisdiction’s demographics and determined that it is possible to create an election district or districts in which a protected class is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district. It is, however, unclear whether that district or districts is required to be drawn as set forth in Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986), and as interpreted in case law regarding enforcement of the federal Voting Rights Act with respect to redistricting.  NDC used the most recent data on Citizen Voting Age Population data available from the Census Bureau at the time of the analysis: block-group-level data from the 2018-2022 Special Tabulation of the American Community Survey.

State-Mandated Elections Code Section 21130(b)(2) Disclosure:

Elections Code Section 21130(b)(2) states:
If the districting body, consistent with its existing obligations under the federal Voting Rights Act, conducts an analysis to determine whether “racially polarized voting,” as defined in case law regarding enforcement of the federal Voting Rights Act, exists in the local jurisdiction, the districting body shall publish on its redistricting web page, at a minimum, a summary of its analysis and findings within seven days of completing the analysis or prior to adopting election district boundaries, whichever occurs first.

Disclosure:
The districting body has not conducted any such analysis.
