Section 35542 Of Article 5. Territory Of School Districts From California Education Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 21. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 5.
35542
. (a) Whenever the boundaries of an elementary school district
and a high school district become coterminous, the districts are
merged into a new unified district.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), an elementary school district
that has boundaries that are totally within a high school district
may be excluded from an action to unify those districts if the
governing board receives approval for an exclusion from the county
committee if the conditions of subdivision (b) of Section 35710 are
met or from the state board if those conditions are not met. Any
elementary school district so authorized to be excluded from an
action to unify may continue to feed into the coterminous high school
under the same terms that existed before any action to unify
pursuant to subdivision (a).
