Kentucky HB827 amends school district merger procedures and enrollment requirements.
Kentucky HB827 modifies the process for merging independent school districts with contiguous county districts. If the school boards cannot agree on merger terms, the decision is put to a vote in both districts. If a majority favors the merger, the Kentucky Board of Education determines the terms. The bill also sets minimum enrollment requirements for independent districts, with higher thresholds for those offering high school services. The Department of Education must publish a registry of designated cities eligible for certain provisions.
