SECTION 74201-74205
74201. (a) Any person who questions the findings of a county committee that a proposed transfer of territory will not adversely affect the racial or ethnic composition of the colleges of the districts affected by the proposal may file an appeal with the board of governors within 30 days after a decision based upon the finding has been made. The appeal shall be based upon factual and statistical evidence. (b) If the board of governors denies an appeal filed pursuant to subdivision (a), the decision of the county committee shall stand. (c) If the board of governors rejects the findings of the county committee, the county committee shall hold another hearing in order to reconsider its decision based upon the findings of the board of governors. 74202. Upon receipt of an approved petition, the board of governors may make whatever inquiries or studies are necessary to validate information and recommendations submitted by the county committee prior to making a recommendation to the board of governors. When it is necessary for the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to evaluate a reorganization proposal, each county superintendent of schools and every other county officer in the counties affected and the superintendents of the districts affected and the county committee shall provide the information required to complete the review. 74203. The board of governors may return the petition for reorganization to the county committee for its reconsideration of information found to be incorrect in the proposal. The county committee shall take whatever action it deems necessary to verify the original proposal or to resubmit a corrected proposal pursuant to procedures described in Sections 74105 and 74106. 74204. At least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing, the board of governors shall announce the purpose of the proposal and the time and place of the hearing to each of the following: (a) The governing board and district superintendent of each district whose boundaries would be affected. (b) The county superintendent and county committee of each county which has jurisdiction over any of the districts whose boundaries would be affected. (c) The persons designated in the petitions as "chief petitioners." 74205. After affording interested persons an opportunity to present their views on the proposal, the board of governors shall give notice of approval or disapproval to the county committee and county superintendents of schools having jurisdiction over any of the districts whose boundaries would be affected by the reorganization. Whenever a proposal is disapproved, the board of governors shall provide in writing the basis for rejection.
