§ 40161 District Succession And Apportionment

Key Takeaways

  • •If a small school area gets fully taken over by a bigger school area, the bigger one gets all its money, stuff, and debts.
  • •If the small school area is split between two or more bigger school areas, they have to agree on how to split the money, stuff, and debts.

Example

A small town's school system is closed and taken over by a larger nearby school system.

The larger school system now gets all the small town's school money, buildings, and any debts they had. If the small town was split between two larger school systems, they would have to work together to decide who gets what.

§ 40161 District Succession And Apportionment

When a unified district ceases to function and exercise its powers because it is included entirely within a regional district created pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 40300), the regional district shall succeed to all the funds, property, and obligations of the unified district. Where the unified district is included within two or more such regional districts, the funds, property, and obligations of the unified district shall be apportioned to the regional districts as agreed upon by the regional districts and unified district. (Added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 957.)
