Redistricting Continued from A6

compact: such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for a more distant population. This requirement refers to density, not shape. Census blocks cannot be split.

Where practicable each Senate district should be comprised of two complete and adjacent Assembly districts and Board of Equalization districts should be comprised of 10 complete and adjacent State Senate Districts.

The place of residence of any incumbent or political candidate may not be considered in the creation of a map, and districts may not be drawn for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate or political party.

Every 10 years, after the federal government publishes updated census information, California must redraw the boundaries of its electoral districts so that the state’s population is evenly allocated among the new districts.

In 2008 California voters passed the Voters First Act, authorizing the creation of the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw new state Senate, Assembly and Board of Equalization district lines. In 2010 the Voters First Act for Congress gave the Commission the responsibility of drawing new Congressional districts following every census.

Vaccine mandate Continued from A1

“Why are we penalizing our kids?” Turnboo asked. “I just don’t think it’s right. If adults are out in the public not wearing masks and moving freely, why are we penalizing our kids?”

The resolution calls for more freedom for families’ and individual’s healthcare choices and that no student should be denied in-person education based on vaccination status.

Newsom in late October announced plans to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of vaccines already required such as, polio, DTap/Tdap, measles, mumps, chickenpox and hepatitis B, among others, after receiving full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

In a lengthy discussion dozens spoke during public comment, showing praise for the resolution and urging supervisors to take the action.

Parents who spoke before the board said they are considering taking their children out of public school while others said they are considering moving out of county.

“I think these kids deserve a proper education and what happens when we have these mandates and their parents pull them out of school?” Turnboo asked.

Other community members urged supervisors to not follow through with the resolution on grounds that the state makes the decisions and issues guidelines with no local consideration.

According to the Board of Supervisor’s agenda, the resolution was necessary as an enrollment decline could impact funding for local school districts, which could put school employees’ jobs at risk and lead to reduced academic opportunities.

After discussion and public comment supervisors immediately approved the resolution in a 4-1 vote with District 5 Supervisor Sue Novasel the dissenting vote.
