California Education Code 5019.5 requires following each decennial federal census, and using population figures as validated by the Demographic Research Unit of the Department of Finance as a basis, the governing board of each school district in which trustee areas have been established, and in which each trustee is elected by the residents of the area the trustee represents, shall adjust the boundaries of any or all of the trustee areas of the district. |
| On December 9, 2021, the Board received information regarding the process and data collected during the 2020 Census. Additionally, three scenario maps were shared and discussed. Tonight David Lopez, Executive Director, Cooperative Strategies will present additional options for discussion. The boundaries of the trustee areas shall be adjusted by the governing board of each school district, in accordance with subdivision before the first day of March of the year following the year in which the results of each decennial census are released. |

| The Board will receive the second Quarterly Report on Williams Uniform Complaints for the period beginning October 2021 and ending December 2021. There were four complaints that were received in this time period. |

Copies of the Williams Uniform Complaint Procedures are posted in English and Spanish in each classroom and school office. The Complaint Procedure Forms are kept in the principals’ offices and made available to the public upon request.
The District files with Riverside County Office of Education a Quarterly Report on Williams Uniform Complaints listing the number of complaints that have been received during that quarter, the number of complaints that have been resolved, and the number of complaints that remain unsolved.
