SANTA ANA, Calif.—After weeks of contentious debate among county education officials regarding voting maps, the Board of Supervisors granted the county Board of Education autonomy to adjust its district boundaries on Feb. 1.

The Board of Education was granted voting map autonomy instead of the 11 appointed members on the Orange County Committee on School District Organization—the committee in charge of approving and submitting the final district maps.
