Key Takeaways

•If most people vote 'yes' to remove an area from a district, the board will make it happen after checking the votes.
•If most people vote 'no' to removing the area, the idea fails and can't be tried again for one year.

Example

A neighborhood wants to leave a school district because they think taxes are too high.

If more than half the neighbors vote 'yes' to leave, the school board will let them go. If most vote 'no,' they have to wait a whole year before asking again.

§ 27300 District Exclusion Vote Rules

In the event that a majority of the votes cast at the election are in favor of the exclusion, the board, upon completion of the canvass, shall make an order excluding the area from the district. In the event that a majority of the votes cast at the election are opposed to the exclusion, the measure fails and no proceedings for exclusion of the area may be subsequently initiated within one year. (Added by Stats. 1959, Ch. 116.)
