Article 1. Territory Of Districts of California Education Code >> Division 7. >> Title 3. >> Part 46. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.
On or after January 1, 1983, a district shall not be
reorganized to include territory which is separated from other
portions of the territory of the district.
Whenever territory is transferred or added by means of
reorganization to another district in which trustee areas have been
established, the territory being transferred shall become a part of
the trustee areas to which it is contiguous. In the event that the
territory being transferred is contiguous to more than one trustee
area, terms of agreement to the transfer may include provisions for
the division of the transferred territory among the trustee areas to
which it is contiguous.
Territory within the boundaries of a city may not be
withdrawn from a district governed by a board provided for in the
charter of the city without the consent of the governing board of the
district.
(a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, an
action to form a new community college district from a portion of an
existing community college district shall be deemed to be approved
as provided by law, for purposes of Section 74250, without election,
when approval of that action is given by the Board of Governors of
the California Community Colleges pursuant to Section 74205, provided
that the proposed new district consists of an existing community
college center and its service area, and all of the following
conditions exist:
(A) The existing community college center in the proposed new district is located in a county other than the county in which the headquarters of the existing community college district is located.
(B) The community college center in the proposed new district is located 50 or more miles from any other campus or center in the existing community college district.
