(a) The school district fails to maintain and operate a school for one year without approval of the State Board of Education;

(b) The school district is in a county with 35,000 or less population and has an average daily membership of fewer than six children for each of two successive years, as certified by the Superintendent of Public Instruction; or

Separate elections shall be held in sequence in the districts from which remonstrance petitions have been filed, commencing with the least populous district and progressing in order of population to the most populous district. If the majority of votes in each election favor the change or merger, an election shall be held in the next most populous district. The cost of an election on a proposed boundary change or merger shall be prorated between or among the district school boards involved in accordance with ORS 255.305.

(3) If the majority of votes cast in any affected district oppose the change or merger, the change or merger shall be defeated, and the same or a substantially similar change or merger shall not be considered until 12 months have elapsed from the date of the election at which the change or merger was defeated, unless otherwise required by law. If the vote is favorable in all remonstrating districts, the district boundary board shall declare the change or merger effective as provided in ORS 330.103 without further elections.

(4) Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this section, the same or substantially similar change or merger that is in response to chapter 393, Oregon Laws 1991, may be considered even though 12 months have not elapsed from the date of the election at which the change or merger was defeated.

(5) For any school district merger or boundary change before September 1, 1996, initiated at the request of the district school boards of the affected districts, that is in response to chapter 393, Oregon Laws 1991, no remonstrance petition or election shall be allowed.

(a) The students who reside in the former unified elementary district shall be authorized to attend the out-of-state high school that the majority of the high school students of the unified elementary district were attending during the 1992-1993 school year;

(b) The merged district shall pay tuition for the students described in paragraph (a) of this subsection but not in an amount greater than the district’s average expenditure for high school students; and

Notwithstanding ORS 332.018, such electors shall be eligible to be candidates for the district school board, to serve thereon and to serve on the budget committee if the electors are eligible to be candidates or budget committee members in the district in which the electors reside prior to the change or merger.

If the boundary change or merger requested or petitioned requires ratification of an adjacent boundary board as in ORS 330.095 (3), an additional 60 days may be utilized for action of the second boundary board. However, upon request of the district boundary board and a showing of special circumstances which require additional time, the State Board of Education may grant a reasonable extension of time for completion of the required action.

(c) The employees of the component districts shall be considered to be employees of the enlarged district, which shall succeed the other districts in such merger as a party to their respective contracts of employment.

(d) No school district employee shall be deprived of seniority or accumulated sick leave solely because the duties of the employee have been assumed or acquired by another school district as a result of a merger or boundary change.

(2) The board of directors of the most populous district shall constitute the board of directors of the enlarged district and the terms of all other directors of component districts shall expire on the effective date of the merger except that the number of directors may be increased to seven members and school committees may be authorized pursuant to ORS 330.425.

(3) All real and personal property belonging to the districts within the enlarged district shall become the property of the enlarged district.

(4) When a petition or request for a merger of school districts contains proposals for distribution of debt as provided in ORS 330.095 and the district boundary board in the manner provided in ORS 330.101 declares such merger effective, the district school board of the enlarged district is authorized to levy taxes in conformity with such proposals.

(5) Notwithstanding ORS 328.555, school districts requesting a boundary change in response to chapter 393, Oregon Laws 1991, shall, as part of the boundary change request under ORS 330.092, provide for the distribution of existing debt, if any.

(1) When changes in school district boundaries are made by the detachment of territory or annexation of less than an entire school district to another, the district school boards of the districts affected by each change shall immediately after the change make an equitable division of the then existing assets and liabilities between the districts affected by such change and provide the manner of consummating the division.

(2) In case of failure to agree within 20 days from the time the district boundary board issues its order, the matter shall be decided by a board of arbitrators. The board of arbitrators shall consist of one member appointed by each of the boards of the school districts affected and an additional member appointed by the other appointees.

(3) In the event any such district school board fails to appoint an arbitrator within 30 days, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall appoint such arbitrator.
