Summary

The enacted law sets out a process for merging adjacent city school systems under one controlling multi‑city board of education. It mandates a voter referendum held on the next regular general election, with county probate judges and sheriffs providing election notices, and requires a binding resolution to finalize the consolidation. The goal is to create a unified governing body for the combined districts.
