As used in ORS
335.495 to 335.505:

(1) “Component school district” means a common school district
lying wholly or partly inside the boundaries of a union high school
district.

(2) “Split school district” means a component school district lying
partly inside and partly outside the boundaries of a union high school
district or an elementary district where students attend two or more
union high school districts upon completing either the sixth or eighth
grades. [1967 c.106 §5; 1987 c.195 §4; 1993 c.45 §69] (1) Except
as otherwise provided in subsection (2) of this section, any union high
school district may, when authorized by the electors of the district,
extend the course of study in the district to include five years above

descending order may extend its course to include kindergarten or any or
all grades of the schools in the union high school district in the manner
provided in ORS 335.495 to 335.505. The decision to vote the course of
study down to include kindergarten shall include, upon request of
district electors or the district school board, a decision on whether, in
the case of a board consisting of five members, the number of members of
the board shall be increased to seven members.

(2) No union high school district shall extend the course of study
in the union high school district unless such course of study is extended
to include kindergarten and grades 1 through 12, of the schools in the
union high school district.

(3) When a union high school district extends the course of study,
the extension applies to all component school districts lying wholly
within the union high school district. [Amended by 1965 c.100 §216; 1967
c.106 §1; 1987 c.195 §2; 1993 c.45 §70; 1993 c.329 §5; 1997 c.521 §20](1) Any union high school board may, or shall upon
petition of 100 electors of the district, submit to the electors of the
district the question of lengthening the course of study in the district.
The petition is subject to ORS 332.118. The election shall be held at the
next date under ORS 255.345 by which the requirements for the election
can be met.

(2) ORS chapter 255 governs the conduct of an election under this
section. If a union high school district contains a split district, the
electors from the split district shall not participate in an election
under this section.

(3) If the result of the election to lengthen the course of study
includes all grades within one single district, the ballot title must
include a statement that the effect of an affirmative vote is that the
component common and union high school districts shall be merged and only
one common school district shall operate in the area in which the
election is held. The ballot title must also list all affected school
districts by name and district number, and specify which of those
districts will be merged pursuant to ORS 335.505 if the measure is
approved. The listing of affected school districts by name and district
number shall not be considered part of the ballot title for the purpose
of determining the number of words permitted under ORS 250.035.

(4) The union high school board may submit to the electors of the
district the question of distribution of existing bonded debt. [Amended
by 1957 c.310 §24; 1965 c.100 §217; 1967 c.106 §2; 1979 c.131 §1; 1983

(a) Declare the proposal carried and certify the result to the
district boundary board; and

(b) Submit to the Department of Education the complete course of
study in the district.

(2) The lengthened course of study shall become effective the July
1 next following approval of the course by the State Board of Education.
[Amended by 1957 c.310 §25; 1965 c.100 §218; 1967 c.103 §1; 1983 c.350
§191; 1989 c.491 §22; 1993 c.329 §7]Whenever the course of study in a union
high school district is extended to include grades below the ninth grade,
the union high school district shall be responsible for providing for the
education of the pupils in the included grades and the cost of educating
such pupils shall be included in the union high school district budget
and not in the budgets of the component common school districts. [1953
c.390 §1; 1965 c.100 §219](1) Notwithstanding any other statute, whenever kindergarten
and grades 1 through 12 of the common schools within the union high
school district come under the jurisdiction of the union high school
board or whenever as a result of merger or boundary change the area
within the boundaries of the union high school district becomes a single
component school district having boundaries coterminous with the union
high school district, the union high school district and its component
districts other than split districts are to be considered merged and the
area within the boundaries of the union high school district, excluding
that part of any split school district that is within the boundaries,
becomes a common school district responsible for educating children in
kindergarten and grades 1 through 12 and all territory therein is
withdrawn from any other type of school district except the education
service district or the community college district of which it may have
been a part.

(2) The union high school board shall continue as the board of the
district. If the board is increased to seven members as part of the vote
to lengthen the course of study or the merger proposal, the board shall
appoint the two additional members in the manner prescribed for filling
vacancies under ORS 332.030 (4), except that the board shall establish by
lot the terms of office of the appointed members at less than an initial
four-year term.

(3) The terms of all board members in all component school
districts other than split school districts shall terminate at the time
the union high school board becomes the district school board.

(4) All property and obligations of the component school districts
other than split school districts shall become the property and
obligations of the new common school district except to the extent that
it was otherwise provided when such district is formed by merger.

(5) Whenever at the time a new common school district is formed as
provided in subsection (1) of this section, if any component school
district is a split school district, such district shall continue to
exist and shall become responsible for education in kindergarten and
grades 1 through 12 for students resident in the split district.

(6) No school district employee shall be deprived of seniority or
accumulated sick leave solely because the duties of the employee have
been assumed or acquired by another school district as a result of
lengthening the course of study.

(7) As used in this section, “property and obligations” includes
all contractual obligations, employment and service contracts, collective
bargaining agreements and district assets and liabilities. [Amended by
1965 c.100 §220; 1967 c.106 §3; 1975 c.770 §46; 1983 c.350 §192; 1987
c.195 §1; 1993 c.45 §71; 1993 c.329 §8; 1995 c.258 §9] (1) Whenever any
union high school district votes to include kindergarten and grades 1
through 12 within a single district under ORS 335.505, the union high
school district board may on its own motion, or must upon receipt of a
petition signed by at least 100 of the electors of the district, provide
for the election of a local school committee.

(2) The local school committee shall consist of three members
elected by the electors of a zone or attendance unit designated by the
district school board. At the first regular district election following
the election to lengthen the course, there shall be elected three members
of each local school committee. After the first election, members shall
be elected as provided in ORS 330.425 and shall have the same authority
and duties of local school committees in ORS 330.430.

(3) Each office of local school committee member shall be
designated by number as Position No. 1, Position No. 2 or Position No. 3
and so forth. The school district shall assign a position number to each
office on the local school committee and shall certify to the filing
officer the name of the committee member in office holding that position.
A copy of the certification shall be filed in the office of the filing
officer. As used in this section, “filing officer” means the:

(a) County clerk or county official in charge of elections of the
county in which the administrative office of the district is located
regarding a district located in more than one county; or

(b) County clerk or county official in charge of elections in a
district situated wholly within the county. [1967 c.103 §3; 1983 c.350
§193; 1991 c.67 §82; 1991 c.167 §22; 1993 c.45 §72; 1995 c.607 §74]

In an election to add districts to a union high school
district, if the district boundary board determines that the proposition
carried in the union high school district by a majority of votes cast,
and also carried in one or more of the common school districts by a
majority of the votes cast in each district, it shall declare the
proposition carried as to those common school districts only in which the
proposition prevailed, and shall immediately proceed to change the
boundaries of the union high school district to include those districts
desiring to be added thereto. [1989 c.819 §7]
