160.020 Composition of independent school districts.
(1)
(2)
All school districts embracing designated cities together with the territory within
their limits, including any territory added for school purposes outside of the city
limits, and all independent graded common school districts having a school census
enumeration of two hundred (200) or more children, constitute independent school
districts, except those which have merged with a county school district since June
14, 1934. No independent district other than a designated city shall continue to
operate when its school census enumeration of children falls below two hundred
(200) pupils unless it appears to the Kentucky Board of Education that the district
can maintain a more efficient program of school service by operating as an
independent district.
As used in this section, "designated city" means a city classified as a city of the first,
second, third, fourth, or fifth class as of January 1, 2014, under the city
classification system in effect prior to January 1, 2015. The Department of
Education shall, on or before January 1, 2015, create an official registry listing the
cities that qualify as a "designated city" under this section and shall publish that
registry on its Web site.
