Summary

Senator Cabaldon's community college district reorganization proposal creates a streamlined process for transferring territory between California community college districts that meet specific geographic criteria. The measure authorizes the California Community Colleges Board of Governors to approve territorial transfers either independently or in response to petitions from district governing boards or county school district organization committees.

The bill establishes precise eligibility requirements for these transfers, applying only to districts located in counties divided among three or more community college districts where the majority of each district's population resides in other counties. When approving transfers, the Board must ensure compliance with existing state requirements governing the allocation of funds and property, protection of academic employee classifications, and other organizational provisions. The proposal eliminates the current requirement for public elections to approve these specific types of territorial transfers.

This authorization operates alongside existing district reorganization procedures while creating an alternative pathway for qualifying districts. The measure maintains core protections for affected employees and assets while modifying the approval process for eligible territorial changes. County committees on school district organization retain their ability to initiate transfer requests, though the Board of Governors becomes the primary decision-making authority for these cases.
