AK SB126

Department shall consolidate Alaska's school districts from 54 to 18 school districts statewide, with regional educational attendance area consolidations based on common geographic or cultural needs.

School board members' terms in consolidated districts terminate when a new school board is established.

All contracts, rights, liabilities, obligations, records, equipment, and property of consolidated districts transfer to the new consolidated district.

When consolidating districts of different types, the resulting district designation is determined by: city district type if a regional attendance area consolidates with a city district; borough district type if a regional attendance area consolidates with a borough district; or the type of whichever district has higher ADM (average daily membership) if a city and borough district consolidate.

Act takes effect July 1, 2020.
