2011-02-17

SAN BERNARDINO - The San Bernardino County Committee on School District Organization appointed Karen Morgan to fill the unexpired term for the First Supervisorial vacancy at its meeting on Feb. 16.

Morgan, who is a school board member with the Victor Elementary School District, was one of three applicants who had applied for the position. The First Supervisorial District includes many of the school districts in the High Desert.

The County Committee has responsibility for dealing with all school district organization matters. Those responsibilities include altering the number of trustees, establishing trustee boundaries, school district boundary changes and/or unification issues.

The County Committee still has a vacancy for its Fifth Supervisorial District position, since no one from the district applied. Under California Education Code, the county superintendent has the authority to make an appointment for the position. The Fifth Supervisorial District includes most of the San Bernardino portions of the cities of Colton, Fontana and Rialto, along with the unincorporated communities of Bloomington, El Rancho Verde and Muscoy.
