Good news for civic-minded Santa Clara County residents who also happen to be procrastinators: The court on Wednesday extended the deadline to apply for the next civil grand jury.
Adults who have lived in the county for at least a year will have until March 21, or 12 extra days, to apply for a one-year term that will start in June. The volunteer commitment requires at least 20 to 25 hours per week, with the current grand jury consisting of 19 members.
The grand jury issues reports and recommendations after investigating various hot-button issues in government agencies, ranging from the county and cities to schools and special districts.
The six-page application is available at the superior court website, scscourt.org.
