Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
When an election for governing board members of a school district or community college district is ordered, existing law requires the governing board of the district, or the board or officer authorized by law to make such designations, to adopt a resolution specifying the date and the purpose of the election and requires that resolution to be delivered, not fewer than 123 days before the election, to the county superintendent of schools and the officer conducting the election, as provided.
This bill would require that resolution to instead be delivered not fewer than 125 days before the election.
Existing law authorizes the governing body with jurisdiction over school buildings or other public buildings to allow its buildings to be used for polling places, for vote centers beginning up to 10 days before the election, or to store voting machines and other vote-tabulating devices. On the day that a school building is used as a polling place or vote center, the governing body may continue school in session, designate the day for staff training and development, or close the school.
This bill would require the governing body to continue school in session on any schoolday when a school building is used for a vote center, except on election day when the governing body may continue school in session, designate the day for staff training and development, or close the school.
The bill would make related clarifying and conforming changes.
