Committee Members

​WHO SERVES ON THE COUNTY COMMITTEE?
 
In Orange County, there are eleven members - two representatives from each supervisorial district and one member at large. School or community college district board members who are otherwise eligible may be members of the County Committee. Members need not be current or prior school board members. The term of office is four years. (Education Code §4006-4009)
 
HOW ARE MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COMMITTEE ELECTED?
 
The candidates for the Orange County Committee on School District Organization are presented to the Nominating Committee through a nominating process, which takes place from July through October.
 
The Nominating Committee is made up of representatives from the 32 school and community college boards in Orange County. The members of the Nominating Committee are appointed by their respective Boards at their districts annual organizational meeting (held in December of each year). Committee Members are elected by absentee ballot or by an in-person ballot at the joint OCSBA/ACSA meeting, held between October 1 and December 1.
