The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District is evaluating and redrawing its school attendance boundaries for the 2022-2023 school year.
We welcome your participation in this process. You're invited to the November 9 Board of Education retreat to hear stakeholder feedback, provide community input, and learn more about the proposals for consideration.
Every 10 years after the U.S. Census is complete, school district trustee areas must be reviewed to determine any necessary changes to boundaries. MPUSD is seeking volunteers to serve on a redistricting commission and is currently working with the Monterey County Office of Education to evaluate trustee areas.
