Most people see school districts as stable or even permanent governmental entities.
School district boundaries, however, do change. Territory is transferred from one school district to another, districts are divided or combined with their neighbors, and some districts are terminated. This handbook describes how these changes come about. This handbook was originally developed in 1993 through the joint efforts of the California State Board of Education, the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, and the California Department of Education. The handbook is intended as a resource for county committees on school district organization, school district governing boards and administrators, and interested members of the public.
