Henderson Wants To Split CC Districts

An Idaho state representative may introduce a bill in the Legislature this year that would split community college districts into subdistricts, and College of Western Idaho trustees discussed the impact that could have locally at their board meeting Tuesday. Trustees had information from Rep. Frank Henderson, R-Post Falls, on a planned bill that would divide the districts for Idaho’s community colleges into subdistricts, much like public school districts. The plan would split the CWI district, which covers Canyon and Ada counties, into five subdistricts. Each of the five trustees would live in a different subdistrict, although current trustees would retain their seats until they expire/Tabitha Simenc, Idaho Press-Tribune. More here.

Question: Should college districts be split into subdistricts, with trustees required to live in and run from an individual subdistrict?
