What does this bill do?
This bill makes minor wording changes to Education Code section 35511, adding the word “school” in several places to clarify examples of forming, unifying, deunifying, or transferring school district territory. These are clerical clarifications and do not change how school districts are formed, merged, split, or have territory moved.
The summary is provided by generative AI which can make mistakes. For original language, please view the details in the table below.
Existing law provides that an action to reorganize one or more school districts is initiated upon the filing with the county superintendent of schools of a petition to reorganize one or more school districts, if the petition is signed by any of 4 specified groups. Existing law also defines an action to reorganize districts as either an action to form a new school district, as specified, or an action to transfer territory, including the transfer of all or part of an existing school district to another existing school district.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision defining an action to reorganize districts.
An action to reorganize districts means either of the following:
(a)An action to form a new school district, which is accomplished through any of, or any combination of, the following:
(1)Dissolving two or more existing school districts of the same kind and forming one or more new school districts of that same kind from the entire territory of the original school districts.
(2)Forming one or more new school districts of the same kind from all or parts of one or more existing school districts of that same kind.
(3)Unifying school districts, including the consolidation of all or part of one or more high school districts with all or part of one or more component school districts into one or more new unified school districts.
(4)Deunifying a school district, including the conversion of all or part of a unified school district into one or more new high school districts, each with two or more new component school districts.
(b)An action to transfer territory, including the transfer of all or part of an existing school district to another existing school district.
