Community feedback requested on proposed redistricting boundaries
Article by: DMC Office of College Relations
As a result of the 2020 U.S. Census, the Del Mar College Board of Regents are working to redraw the district boundaries for the College’s five single districts.
Del Mar College will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, April 12, at 10:30 a.m. in Room 106 of the College’s Center for Economic Development, which is located at 3209 S. Staples, to provide an opportunity for the public to review the proposed maps and possible impacts and provide input.
Based on input provided by the Board during the March 8, 2022, public workshop, the College has prepared a proposed redistricting plan. The proposed district configurations and demographic details will impact the Board seats representing the five (5) single member Districts.
