We have also learned that the MCOE errored in releasing the full petition complete with signatures. Government code that covers the rules under the public records act specifically protects territory transfer petition signatures from release to the public.
Lastly, the County Committee on School District Organization (CCSDO) will schedule two dates for public hearings within 60 days of November 10, 2022, one in each school district. MCOE will coordinate the scheduling of the public hearing dates. We will keep you informed about the dates, and this will be the community's opportunity to express opinions about this possible transfer.
