TERRITORY
ANNEXATIONS,
EFFECT OF
Generally speaking, the annexation of territory into a city or village does
not automatically transfer the same territory into the city school district or
the school district of which the village is a part. Any such territorial
transfer must be approved by the state board of education.
One exception is when all of the territory of a school district is annexed
into a city or village. In that case, the annexed school district becomes
part of the city school district or the school district of which the village is a
part.
Another exception is when the annexation involves an urban city school
district (which is defined in law as a city school district with an average
daily membership for the 1985-86 school year in excess of 20,000
students). In that case, any annexation agreement approved by the
affected boards of education will control the district in which the annexed
territory belongs.

TRANSFERS
INVOLVING AN ESC
The transfer of all or part of the territory of a local school district to
adjoining local districts or one adjoining local district can be initiated by
the governing board of the local district’s educational service center so
long as all involved districts are located within the territory of that ESC.
The transfer of the territory can then be approved at the next regular
meeting of the ESC governing board held at least 30 days after approval
of the initial resolution on the transfer. However, if a petition of
referendum signed by a majority of the electors voting in the last general
election and residing in the affected area is filed with the ESC
superintendent, the issue will be presented to voters at a subsequent
primary or general election (held at least 90 days after the filing of the
petition) or at a special election specified in the petition.
A transfer can also be initiated by a petition signed by 55% of the
qualified electors voting in the last general election and residing in the
territory proposed for transfer. The vote on this petition of transfer
follows the same procedures as the petition of referendum.
A transfer of territory is subject to the approval of the receiving board(s)
of education unless the transfer is made by the ESC governing board. If
the receiving board objects, it must appeal to the state board of
education which either accepts or rejects the transfer.
If an entire school district is proposed to be transferred to two or more
districts, the rejection of the transfer by one of the receiving boards of
