Adding voter approval requirement to close or consolidate schools

Summary

The bill adds a countywide referendum as a final step before a school can be closed or merged, giving voters the power to approve or reject the action. It applies to all public schools in a county, with exceptions only when a voter‑approved construction bond already includes the schools in question. The measure aims to increase transparency and community input in decisions that affect students, staff, and local neighborhoods.
