In case you missed it, here's the email sent district wide an hour or so ago--that explains the action taken at last night's special board meeting (after the regular monthly meeting). Naturally, we already reported all this last night.

RESULTS FROM THE SPECIAL BOARD MEETING HELD MAY 21, 2012

Last night, the SOCCCD Board of Trustees held a special meeting to determine whether to temporarily fill the board position previously held by Trustee Tom Fuentes in Trustee Area 6 which represents the communities of Lake Forest, parts of Irvine, and unincorporated areas. California Education Code section 5091 requires the Governing Board to appoint a provisional board member, call for an election to fill the vacancy, or leave the seat vacant until the November 6, 2012 election. Any provisional appointment must be made within 60 days of the vacancy. Therefore, the board needed to discuss this subject with some urgency to determine which option to pursue.

The board of trustees voted to appoint a provisional board member to serve the remainder of Trustee Fuentes’s term. The provisional appointment will be effective only until the end of Trustee Fuentes’s term, which would otherwise have ended on December 7, 2012; any election ordered to fill the vacancy will be consolidated with the general election scheduled for November 6, 2012. The process for filling the vacancy will be followed in accordance with California Education Code section 5090 which details advertisement of the position and an application and interview process. Information will be published on the district’s website, www.socccd.edu within the next few days.
