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

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

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:

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.
