About Redistricting • Redistricting is the process of drawing new boundary lines for public offices • Following each decennial federal census, trustee area boundaries are examined and, if necessary, adjustments are made the boundaries of any or all of the trustee areas • One of the goals of redistricting is that districts be "nearly equal in population" • California Education Code section 5000 • Community college districts that elect trustees at-large but require they reside within trustee areas "rearranges“ boundaries rather than “redistricts”
