Key Takeaways

•The boss has 30 days to look at the request and make sure it's filled out right.
•If the request is good, the boss sends it to two places: the county school group and the state school board.

Example

A group of parents want to merge two small schools into one bigger school.

They write a request and give it to the county school boss. The boss checks if the request is filled out right and has enough signatures. If it's good, the boss sends it to the county school group and the state school board within 30 days.
