15-463. Annexation of military reservation to
high school district or union high school district; procedure;
notice; hearing
A. A high school district, or union high school district, any portion of which is
contiguous to a military reservation, may at any time, and as provided in subsection B,
annex all or any contiguous part of said military reservation for high school purposes
only.
B. When a majority of the governing board of a high school district or a union high
school district petitions the board of supervisors of the county in which the school
district is located, requesting the annexation of all or a contiguous part of a military
reservation, and such petition is accompanied by a petition containing the same request
signed by ten or more qualified school electors residing in the school district, the
board of supervisors shall within fifteen days give written notice of the proposed
annexation to the commanding officer of the military reservation and to the governing
board of any other high school districts or union high school districts contiguous to the
military reservation, which notice shall fix a time and place not more than fifteen days
after the serving of said notice for a hearing on the petitions. If, at the hearing, the
commanding officer of the military reservation or other higher military authority, or the
authorized agent of either, objects to the annexation, no further action shall be
taken. If, however, no such objection is made at the hearing, the board of supervisors,
within ten days after the hearing, shall either allow or deny the petitions. If the
petitions are allowed, the board of supervisors shall forthwith notify the commanding
officer of the military reservation and the county school superintendent and the
annexation shall take effect immediately.
C. A high school district which annexes any or all of a contiguous part of a
military reservation as provided in this section and a common school district which is
coterminous with the portion of the high school district which is not part of the
military reservation may operate as a unified school district under a single governing
board.
