What’s in it

This bill modifies provisions related to the effective date of school district enlargements, reorganizations, changes in boundaries, and dissolutions. Current law provides that when a school district is enlarged, reorganized, or changes its boundary, the change shall take effect on July following the date of the reorganization election. The bill modifies this provision to provide that, if the proposition was approved prior to January 1, 2025, the change shall take effect on July following the date of the reorganization election, and if the proposition was approved on or after January 1, 2025, the change shall take effect on July in the calendar year immediately subsequent to the calendar year in which the reorganization election was held.
