Education Law

Come together

How can four become one? It?s called consolidation, unification or reorganization and its happening all over the country. In March, NSBA?s National Affiliate Program and the American School Board Journal learned about a school district in California where four districts had voted to join together to make a new district. On July 1, the Twin Rivers Unified School District became California?s newest district and the beginning of a year-long project.

You can listen as interviews of the participants tell their story. Twin Rivers is only one example and learning what others have done will add to the depth of information. Visit the Twin Rivers project at www.nsba.org/natwinrivers or www.asbj.com . Is your district going through a consolidation or unification project? Leave us a comment and tell us about it.
