§ 15782 District Apportionment Eligibility Rules

This rule explains how the state decides whether a district that gets merged or taken over can still receive money.

Key Takeaways

  • •If a district is fully merged into an ineligible district, it cannot get any money.
  • •If only part of a district is merged, the state can rethink and adjust the money allocation.
  • •The state can still give conditional money to the merged district if it deems necessary.

Example

A small school district gets merged into a larger district that isn’t eligible for state funds.

Because the whole district is now part of an ineligible district, the merged district can’t receive any money. If only part of the district is merged, the state can reconsider and decide to give or not give money to the new combined district.
