(1) The appointment of a school organization planning committee charged to study
school district organization must occur when the commissioner is notified that any
of the following conditions exist:

(a) One or more school district boards of education request the appointment
of a school organization planning committee. Each school district which would be
affected by the actions of such planning committee must submit a separate
resolution.

(b) A petition committee, as defined in section 22-30-103 (10), presents a
petition to the commissioner and to the county clerk and recorder of each county in
which the headquarters of a school district that will be affected by the actions of a
planning committee are located requesting the appointment of a school
organization planning committee. The petition must contain a statement indicating
the school districts involved. If only one school district is involved, the petition must
be signed by fifteen percent of that school district's eligible electors. If multiple
school districts are involved, the petition must be signed by fifteen percent of the
eligible electors in each involved school district; except that, if the petition requests
only consideration of detachment and annexation, the petition must be signed by
twenty-five percent of the eligible electors residing in the area to be detached and
annexed. If multiple school districts are involved, the petition does not request
consideration of a detachment and annexation, and the pupil enrollment of a school
district for purposes of the Public School Finance Act of 2025 is greater than
thirty thousand pupils, the petition must be signed by five percent of the eligible
electors in that school district. A petition is deemed sufficient by the county clerk
and recorder in the county of each involved school district. Only one petition may be
presented to the commissioner and the county clerk and recorder in the county of
each involved school district in any three consecutive calendar years.

(c) The state board pursuant to the provisions of section 22-11-209 declares
a school district is no longer accredited or directs a school district to reorganize.
Such declaration or direction must indicate the school districts to be involved in the
organization study.
