SANTA BARBARA COUNTY COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL DISTRICT ORGANIZATION
About the County Committee
-
The County Committee was created by the California State Legislature in 1949. It functions within the rules and regulations established by the Legislature and its own policies and procedures. It responds to petitioners and School District Governing Boards. Most people see school districts as stable or even permanent government entities. School district boundaries, however, do change. Territory is transferred from one school district to another, districts are divided or combined with neighboring districts, and some districts are terminated. Its duties and responsibilities pertain to School Districts - Kindergarten through Community Colleges. The County Committee's activities are coordinated by the County Superintendent of Schools, and its actions are reported to the State Board of Education.
The County Committee on School District Organization consists of eleven members - two representatives from each Supervisorial District and one member serving at large. Committee members are elected at an Annual Election of School District Board Representatives. The term of office is four years. The members serve without pay.
