Following the introductory chapter, chapter 2 offers a historical overview of school-district reorganization in California. Chapters 3 and 4 outline the organization and responsibilities of the county committee and the role and responsibilities of the State Board of Education. The fifth chapter provides a step-by-step process of forming or abolishing school districts, consolidating school districts, transferring territory, and unifying school districts. A series of flowcharts explain the 25 percent petition, the 10 percent petition, the state criteria for approvals, and the guidelines for administering the California Environmental Quality Act regulations. Chapter 6 details the requirements of the Education Code Section 35753 governing reorganization proposals. Chapter 7 lists the various effects of a district organizational change on a school district and its employees, property, funds, obligations, bond indebtedness, and revenue limit. The requirements for elections and public hearings are listed in the eighth chapter. Chapters 9 and 10 describe the new governing board and its operations and other functions of the county committee. The final two chapter summarize the appeals process related to transfers of territory and procedures for reorganizing community colleges. Appendices contain state regulations; a list of chartered counties, cities, and school districts; and sample forms. (LMI)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this research was to study the school districts in Umatilla County as they existed in 1962-3 and to formulate a guide for reorganization of these districts into sound efficient units. The following sub-factors were considered essential to this research, and were dealt with extensively: (1) school laws, (2) topography, (3) sociological and economic implications, (4) organizational structure, (5) transportation, (6) assessed valuations and mill levies, (7) per pupil costs, (8) teacher -pupil ratios, (9) school buildings, and (10) curriculum. Procedures: This research study was confined to the 17 school districts in Umatilla County. Information for the statistical data was gathered from the various forms on file in the office of the State Department of Education, Umatilla County School Superintendent's Office, State Board of Health, and the office of the local school district superintenent or principal. Every school district was visited by the researcher in order to gain first-hand information, and individual conferences were held with each superintendent or principal of the 17 school districts. A review of the research dealing with reorganization of school districts was made and a set of desirable criteria for effective school districts in Umatilla County was formulated, These criteria were: 1. Public education shall be responsive to the will and needs of local people. 2. Any reorganization plan shall provide a complete educational program from grade 1 through grade 12. 3. Every district shall contain a minimum of 1000 pupils between the ages of 6 and 18 so that a high school of at least 300 can be maintained. 4. Elementary schools shall have at least one teacher per grade. 5. Schools shall be located so that no elementary pupil travels more than 45 minutes nor any high school pupil more than one hour by bus in order to reach the school. 6. Walking distances, one way, shall not exceed 1-1/2 miles for elementary children or two miles for secondary students. 7. A reorganized district shall be able to provide a good quality educational program at reasonable costs. Findings: 1. Umatilla County schools varied a great deal in the educational opportunities provided for students. 2. Teachers in the small high schools of Umatilla County are having to teach in subject fields for which they have minimum qualifications. 3. Umatilla County has many inequalities in the financing of its schools. 4. Reorganization of the school districts of Umatilla County would provide the same educational opportunities for less money or a better program for the same money presently expended. 5. Reorganization of school districts of Umatilla County would eliminate the use of eight high schools and three elementary schools. Recommendations: 1. Information regarding the advantages of school district reorganization should be continually brought to the attention of the citizens of Umatilla County. 2. Any school district which insists on retaining its identity as an autonomous school district, and which does not meet the criteria of an effective school district as herein outlined, should be responsible for financing its own educational program without the help of equalization funds. 3. Individual schools should not be allowed to consolidate with other adjoining districts unless the consolidation would conform to the long-range reorganization plans for Umatilla County. 4. For the small school districts which continue to exist, it is recommended that they give serious thought to improving their educational program through extended contracts, higher salary schedules, summer workshops, use of teacher aids, circuit teachers, shared seminars, increased use of supervised correspondence courses, and greater use of technological media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few educational responsibilities have greater far-reaching importance to the people of a State than the establishment of a sound local district structure for administering the schools. Keeping that structure adapted to changing conditions in society by reorganization of small ineffective districts into larger administrative units more capable of providing needed educational services has for many years been a persistent problem in American education. It is also one in which much progress has been made, especially during the past 10 years when the total number of local school districts in the Nation has been reduced by more than one-fourth. Although that reduction has been accomplished by means of various procedures, a major portion of it has come as the result of State programs of local school district reorganization providing for the active participation of local people in developing local reorganization plans and delegating to them the responsibility of establishing new districts proposed in such plans. Since 1940 a number of State programs of this nature have been initiated while others having the same general characteristics of local participation and decision have been in operation considerably longer. This report is an outgrowth of a study conducted by the Office of Education for the purpose of providing information concerning some of the major characteristics of reorganized districts established in recent years and of indicating some of the most noteworthy educational changes resulting from their establishment. The second part of the study, dealing with educational changes in reorganized districts, will be made the subject of a separate report. This study has been a cooperative undertaking throughout the various stages of its development. The chief State school officers in each of the eight states (California, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, and Washington) approved the study as one which should be undertaken and in each instance designated a staff member to assist in conducting it. These State school officials assisted in the development of data-gathering schedules used for collection of information, and also designated the districts to be included in the study. An appendix presents the items from the inquiry form on which this report is based. (Contains 19 tables and 1 footnote.) [Best copy available has been provided.].
