15-447. Offer of instruction in high school
subjects by common school districts; limitations
The state board of education may grant permission to the governing board of a common
school district to offer instruction in high school subjects, grades nine through twelve,
except that the state board shall not grant permission if the qualified electors of a
common school district have voted against the formation of a high school district within
the last five years. If the qualified electors of a common school district vote against
the formation of a high school district within one year after the state board has granted
permission to the governing board to offer instruction in high school subjects, the
governing board shall cease to offer instruction in high school subjects at the end of
the current year and shall not offer such instruction until such time as the state board
has again granted permission in accordance with this section. Enrollment of pupils in
grades nine through twelve shall be deemed to be enrollment in high school. For purposes
of computing the base support level, the support level weight for high school districts
shall be used. Successful completion of a prescribed course of study in grades nine
through twelve entitles a pupil to a certificate of high school graduation.
