UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The governing boards for the Upper Lake Union Elementary School District and Upper Lake Union High School District will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening to look at the issue of unification.
The informational meeting will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, in Room 6 at Upper Lake Middle School, 725 Old Lucerne Road.
The main item on the agenda's open session is the unification issue.
In January, both the high school and elementary school boards voted unanimously to begin studying the unification process, as Lake County News has reported.
If the two districts were to approve moving forward with unification, the process would require the involvement of the Lake County Office of Education and the California Department of Education, according to state guidelines.
A district reorganization can take place in a variety of ways, with one of the options being that the process is initiated by a majority of the governing boards of the schools involved. In that case, an election isn't required.
The procedures for unification also include reviews by the county superintendent of schools, notice to the Local Agency Formation Commission and public hearings.
