Constitutional Amendment Establishing a Process for the Consolidation of County School Boards into Multi-County Boards
Plain-English Summary
This constitutional amendment establishes a process for two or more contiguous public county school boards to combine into a single, multi-county board of education. It requires an impact study by the state board of education and allows for a resident-initiated referendum if signed by 25% of qualified electors in affected school systems.
What each outcome does
If the amendment passes, a formal process will be established for contiguous county school boards to consolidate into multi-county boards, including provisions for impact studies and potential referendums.
If the amendment fails, the current law regarding school board consolidation will remain in effect, which permits consolidation of neighboring county boards but does not include a referendum process for approval or rejection.
