§ 5202 Charter City School Governance

• •If a school or community college is inside a city with its own rules (charter), the school must follow the city's rules for running schools.
• •This happens if people in the school area voted in a school election after the city made its charter.
• •It’s like the school automatically agrees to the city’s rules, even if they didn’t officially say yes.

A city called Sunnyville has its own rules (charter) for how schools should work. A school district inside Sunnyville holds an election for school board members. People in that district vote in the election.

Because the people voted in the school election after Sunnyville made its charter, the school district now has to follow Sunnyville’s rules for running schools, even if they never officially voted to agree to those rules.
