OUSD Trustees to
vote on Term Limits
At the
regular scheduled Thursday December 10, 2015 Orange Unified School Board meeting the OUSD Ttrustees will vote on placing trustee term limits on the ballot in 2016.
Action Item 13 C ( Agenda page 10) is a resolution for the
OUSD Board to vote on the proposed term limits for the OUSD
Trustees. The item also has the trustees
deciding if the proposed limits to terms should be limited to two terms (eight
years total) or three terms (twelve years total). OUSD Trustee terms are four years. If approved by the OUSD Board, the term
limit proposal would be on the June 2016 ballot and need voter approval. If aproved, the term limits would
not apply retroactively.
The Term Limit proposal was first proposed by
OUSD Board President John Ortega in April of this year. Ortega has never faced an opponent since he was
first elected in the 2001 Orange Recall Election as part of the Citizens Slate.
