Volusia County School Board and Volusia County Council Redistricting Meeting
The meeting was a joint session between the Volusia County School Board and the Volusia County Council to discuss the redistricting process following the 2020 census. Key discussion topics included the presentation of various mapping plans (Plans A-M), the criteria for redistricting such as preserving municipal boundaries and minority populations, and the challenges of aligning school board and county council districts. The Supervisor of Elections addressed the cost and logistical impacts of creating multiple ballot styles due to misaligned districts. Both boards reviewed maps, considered feedback from the public, and debated the balance between geographic compactness, keeping communities of interest together, and equalizing population deviations.
