School District Redistricting Commission (SDRC)

Commission Description

To review all current common school districts that are not part of a unified school district and consider combining these common school districts into a new unified district or combining common school districts with a union high school district to create unified districts that offer instruction to students in programs for preschool children with disabilities and kindergarten programs and grades one through twelve. The Commission’s recommendations may include enlarging or diminishing the size of affected school districts but shall also include unorganized territories within recommended unified districts where practicable.
