SB1507

School districts; receivership; mandatory consolidation

Introduced·2/2/26

Mandatory consolidation of small school districts in receivership into a new district.

The bill mandates the consolidation of small school districts in receivership into a new district. If a school district in receivership has fewer than 300 students, it will be consolidated with the closest school district and any common school district within its boundaries. The governing board members of the existing districts will continue to serve until the next general election. The receiver appointed by the state board of education will advise the new district on financial solvency and may recommend actions to the governing board.
