§ 6221 Petition Sufficiency Determination

• •If the petition doesn't follow the rules, the board can say no and you can try again with a new one.
• •If the board says the petition is good, that decision is final for everyone except the state.
• •The state has one year to challenge the board's decision if they think it's wrong.

A group of neighbors wants to create a new school district and submits a petition to the board.

If the board finds the petition doesn't follow the rules, they can dismiss it, but the neighbors can try again with a new petition. If the board approves the petition, that decision is final unless the state challenges it within one year.
