Text

1. The boundary lines of contiguous school corporations may be changed by the
concurrent action of the respective boards of directors at their regular meetings in July, or
at special meetings called for that purpose. Such concurrent action shall be subject to the
approval of the area education agency board but such concurrent action shall stand approved
if the board does not disapprove such concurrent action within thirty days following receipt
of notice thereof. The corporation from which territory is detached shall, after the change,
contain not less than four government sections of land.
2. The boards in the respective districts, the boundaries of which have been changed
under this section, complete in all respects except for the passage of time prior to the
effective date of the change, and when the right of appeal of the change has expired, may
enter into joint contracts for the construction of buildings for the benefit of the corporations
whose boundaries have been changed, using funds accumulated under the physical plant
and equipment levy in section 298.2. The district in which the building is to be located may
use any funds authorized in accordance with chapter 75.
3. This section does not permit the changed districts to expend any funds jointly which
they are not entitled to expend acting individually.
