§ 35720 County School District Organization

• •Local groups in each county help plan how school districts should be set up.
• •These groups work with the State Board of Education to make these plans.
• •They can suggest changes for schools in their county or even nearby counties if needed.

A small town has two tiny school districts with very few students. The local group notices that combining them could save money and give kids more resources.

The county committee can make a plan to merge these two districts into one bigger, better one. They send this idea to the State Board of Education for approval.
