§ 4903 District Territory Transfer Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a piece of land moves from one district to another, old contracts for that land must end or be changed first.
  • •Any leftover money from the old district must be split fairly between the old and new districts.
  • •The split is based on how much the land was worth compared to the whole district before it moved.

Example

A neighborhood moves from School District A to School District B.

Before the move, School District A must finish or change any contracts for things like bus services or school repairs in that neighborhood. Any leftover money from School District A must be split between the two districts based on how much the neighborhood’s property was worth compared to the whole district.

§ 4903 District Territory Transfer Rules

The exclusion of territory from one district and its annexation to another district shall not be effective until all outstanding contracts of the district from which it is excluded have expired or the contracts, with the consent of the parties, have been modified or canceled so as to relieve the district of further obligation to pay for future maintenance in the territory excluded, and until the funds remaining on hand upon the completion of the exclusion and annexation have been apportioned between the district to which the territory was annexed and the district from which it was excluded. The division of the funds shall be prorated in the proportion that the assessed value of the real property of the territory so excluded bore to the total assessed value of the real property in the district immediately prior to the exclusion. (Enacted by Stats. 1939, Ch. 60.)
