of a union high school district or an elementary district where students attend

sixth grade, and in like 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

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

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

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.

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;

study, it shall:
     (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;

     335.502
Cost of educating elementary pupils after course lengthened to include
elementary grades. 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]
     335.505
Transformation of union high school district into common school district;
continued existence of part of split district; effect on employees. (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]
     335.515
Local school committee; election; duties. (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

(Adding
Districts)
     335.525
Effect of election to add districts to union high school district. 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
