Section 91-21-1 - Procedures to be followed by the state board in assigning territory, assets and personal property of a disorganized district

In the event the resident electors of a unified school district vote in an election conducted by the election officer to disorganize the district, pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 72-7302, the state board upon being notified by the election officer that the majority of the electors voted in favor of such disorganization, shall pursue the following procedures:

(a) The state board shall designate a hearing officer to conduct one or more public hearings in the district to be disorganized to determine the adjoining district or districts to which the disorganized district should be attached.

(b) Following the hearings, the state board shall issue an order disorganizing the original unified school district and attaching it to the designated district or districts.

(c) When applicable, the order shall further provide:

(1) Possession of and title to all school buildings, furnishings, tangible and movable personal property located in the territory to be attached, except school buses, shall vest in the unified school district or districts to which it is being attached. School equipment housed in a central location, but used in schools throughout the disorganized district, shall be transferred to the unified school district that receives the greatest number of pupils.

(2) If the disorganized district is attached to more than one district, school buses shall be equitably distributed based on the proportion the number of transported pupils transferred bears to the total number of pupils of the disorganized district transported on the final date of its operation.

(3) In the event the disorganized district is attached to more than one unified district, the funds on hand and those to be collected of the disorganized district shall be transferred to the receiving districts as follows:

(A) One-half (1/2) shall be distributed in the proportion that the amount of assessed valuation of property transferred bears to the total assessed valuation of the disorganized district.

(B) One-half (1/2) shall be distributed in the proportion the number of pupils transferred bears to the total enrollment of the disorganized district on the final date of its operation.

(4) If the disorganized district is attached to more than one unified district, the central office records of pupils and school personnel shall be transferred to the district receiving the pupils and school personnel. All other central office records shall be transferred to the receiving district that acquires the greatest amount of assessed valuation of the disorganized district.
