As the District continues to move through the process of transitioning to “by-Trustee-area" elections under the legal requirements of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), we have reached a critical point. The District is releasing three map options to the community for study and input. All three of the map options being considered meet the legal requirements outlined in CVRA.
The District is providing multiple in-person opportunities to the community to review and provide feedback over the next two months before the Board of Education votes on December 13, 2021 for a map that will be put into effect for the November 2022 Board elections.
This release of map options comes at the end of the “Pre-Map" period wherein the District engaged the community with two public hearings to solicit input before drawing map options.
Each map option for consideration:
- Meets the equal population requirement (that each trustee area have equal population with up to a 10% variance);
- Increases the voting power of the largest protected classes in the District by Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP/eligible voters) in at least one Trustee Area based on up-to-date CVAP statistics compared to District-wide averages;
- Complies with the Federal Voting Rights Act;
- Respects communities of interest as much as possible;
- Is compact and contiguous as much as possible; and
- Follows man-made and natural geographic features as much as possible.

The Interactive Map can be found here. The maps are best viewed on a full screen (i.e., laptop or desktop computer). When viewing the maps under the layer tool (see below), be sure to toggle the maps on and off by clicking once for on and then again for off. Having multiple maps selected will result in an overlapping display of the maps.
If you do not have access to a computer, and wish to view the maps, please visit the Jurupa Unified District Office front desk reception area for assistance.
