How the petition process works
- Petitions are signed by BVSD voters and authenticated.
- The state commissioner of education directs BVSD to
convene an organizational planning committee.
- That committee, with support of public hearings, outlines
an equitable plan of action to form two new districts.
- The plan is put on the ballot as a referendum for residents
of BVSD to approve or disapprove.
- If the referendum passes, election of new school boards
and the creation of management groups for each district
proceeds.
How long will it take to accomplish this?
The process could be as short as one year or as long as
several years, depending, in part, on the requirements of
the State Commissioner of Education. Although time consuming,
the result will be worthwhile as it will assure that the
quality of public education is improved for present and
future generations.
