Text

If a school district proposes to close a rural attendance center, any landowner who has students attending the attendance center that is proposed to be closed may petition the school board to transfer their land to an adjacent school district with a common boundary with the landowner. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a decision by a school board to reject the petition, in total or in part, does not create a cause of action against the school district or school board, or constitute grounds for an appeal pursuant to § 13-46-1 . For the purposes of this chapter, a rural attendance center is an attendance center that is at least ten miles from the corporate limits of any incorporated municipality.
