§ 13-39-62 — Withdrawal of district from participation in academy--Submission to voters--Effect of withdrawal.

A school district may withdraw from a multidistrict, career and technical academy if the school board submits a resolution to that effect to the center board and if the center board approves the resolution. If the resolution to withdraw is not approved by the center board, the school board of the district seeking the withdrawal may refer the question to a vote of the people. The form of the ballot question shall be "shall (school district name) continue as a participating member of (multidistrict, career and technical academy name)?" If a majority of the total number of votes cast on the question is not in favor of continuing participation in the multidistrict, career and technical academy, the school district shall terminate its participation in the multidistrict, career and technical academy at the end of the next school fiscal year or on a date determined by the center board. Withdrawal of a district from a multidistrict, career and technical academy does not affect the liability of the withdrawing school district or its share of outstanding obligations incurred prior to the submission of the resolution of withdrawal provided for in this section. However, the withdrawing school district abandons any interest it has in the multidistrict, career and technical academy's assets.
