35556. (a) The reorganization of any school district, or school districts, shall not affect the rights of persons employed in positions not requiring certification qualifications to retain the salary, leaves, and other benefits that they would have had if the reorganization had not occurred.

(b) All employees of every school district that is included in any other school district, or all school districts included in a new district, shall become employees of the new district.
(c) (1) When a portion of the territory of any school district becomes part of another school district, employees regularly assigned to perform their duties in the territory affected shall become employees of the acquiring district unless, in a manner consistent with relevant provisions of this code and with any applicable collective bargaining agreement, one of the following events occurs:
(A) An employee elects to accept a vacant position, for which he or she qualifies, that the original district elects to fill.

(d) When the territory of any school district is divided between, or among, two or more new or acquiring districts, and the original district ceases to exist, employees of the original district regularly assigned to perform their duties in any specific territory of the school district shall become employees of the school district acquiring the territory. Employees not assigned to specific territory within the original district shall become employees of any acquiring district at the election of the employees.
(e) An employee regularly assigned by the original district to any school in the school district shall be an employee of the school district in which the school is located unless that employee elects to continue in the employ of the original district pursuant to subdivision (c).

35557. (a) Notwithstanding Section 5000, whenever, in a district that has been wholly absorbed into one or more other districts and continues in existence as a district until the reorganization in which it has been included is effective for all purposes and a governing board member election is otherwise required to be held prior to the effective date of the reorganization, no election shall be held.

(2) The governing board of the new unified school district is organized to be subject to the provisions of this code rather than the provisions of the city charter.
