Text

(1) If a school district or group
of districts that is adjacent to a local college district or located entirely within the
boundaries of the local district college's service area, as determined by the
Colorado commission on higher education, desires to be annexed to the existing
local college district, it may do so by satisfying both of the following requirements:

(a) By obtaining approval of the existing local college district. The approval
is given only upon a majority vote of the eligible electors of the existing local
college district as expressed by a majority polled at the time of a regular election
held in the local college district. The election is called only upon an affirmative vote
of the board of trustees.

(b) The school district desiring to be annexed votes to approve the
annexation at a regular election. The election is called only upon the affirmative
vote of the school district board of education. If a single school district desires to be
annexed, the annexation is effected by a majority vote of the eligible electors of the
district. If two or more school districts desire annexation as a group, the annexation
is effected only by a majority vote in favor thereof in each district desiring
annexation. If there is not a majority vote in favor of the annexation in any district in
the group, then the annexation does not occur for the group of districts, but any
individual district in the group that had a majority vote in favor of the annexation is
annexed to the local college district.

(2) If the town of Berthoud desires to be annexed to its existing local college
district, it may do so by satisfying both of the following requirements:

election. The election shall only be called upon the affirmative vote of the
governing body of the municipality, and the annexation shall be effected by a
majority vote of the eligible electors of the municipality.
