Kern County committee considers shifting RLSD from at large to three trustee areas for a 1994 election. Trustees like Renda Kern and Lawrence Handel back putting the issue to voters while RLSD faces charges of racial harassment reported to the US Civil Rights Office in San Francisco. Knapp remains optimistic that public education will lead to a community decision in the district.
