§ 4926 City District Exclusion Process

Key Takeaways

  • •If part of a district gets added to a city, it stays part of the district until the city asks to leave.
  • •The city must send a request to leave the district before it can actually leave.
  • •The city can't leave until all the district's contracts are done or changed so the district doesn't have to keep paying for stuff in that area.

Example

A small town has a school district. Part of the town becomes part of a nearby city. The city wants to handle its own schools.

The city has to send a request to leave the school district. Even after sending the request, the city can't leave until all the school district's contracts (like bus services or teacher agreements) are finished or changed. This makes sure the school district isn't stuck paying for things it no longer needs to.

§ 4926 City District Exclusion Process

If less than the whole of a district is included in a city either by reason of annexation or by reason of incorporation proceedings, the territory so included within the city shall continue to remain a part of the district for all purposes until a copy of a resolution adopted by the city requesting exclusion of such territory from the district is received by the board. Upon receipt of such a resolution requesting exclusion of the territory contained within the city, such territory shall be excluded from the district and the remaining territory shall continue as a district. But the exclusion of such territory from the district shall not be effective until all outstanding contracts of the districts have expired or the contracts, with the consent of the parties, have been modified or canceled so as to relieve the district of further obligation to pay for future maintenance in the affected territory. (Amended by Stats. 1955, Ch. 167.)
