A task force charged with drawing new districts for Pasadena Board of Education elections released a map Saturday establishing revised district boundaries. The plan will go before the board later this month.
Voters in Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre will decide in June whether to change the at-large election process for public school officials to one that elects board members from seven geographic zones. A final proposed map will be presented to school board members on March 26.
The latest map, a merger of four previous proposals, was displayed for the first time during a Pasadena Unified School District Districting Task Force meeting Saturday at the Tekeyen Cultural Center in Altadena.
Four of the proposed zones are Pasadena-centric. Altadena residents would form a majority in two of the districts, and one district unites all of Sierra Madre with neighborhoods to the southeast that are unincorporated or in Pasadena.
