§ 15781 District Unification Apportionment Rules

This law says that if two districts with identical borders merge before the end of 1952 and that merger is official, the new district can start receiving extra state funding beginning July 1, 1953.

Key Takeaways

  • •The merger must be finalized before December 31, 1952.
  • •The districts must have exactly the same boundaries.
  • •Extra funding begins on July 1, 1953, for the newly unified district.

Example

Two neighboring school districts that cover the same area decide to combine their schools before the end of 1951. Because they merged under the old rules, the new combined district can start receiving extra state funding starting July 1, 1953.

The merger qualifies as a unification under Section 4320, so the combined district gets the additional apportionments on July 1, 1953, as specified.
