School tax district - Consolidation - City district with other territory.
When it shall seem desirable to consolidate with a city school tax district having a city board of education, either a county school tax district or territory adjacent to such city school tax district which does not lie within the corporate limits of the city, so as to vest the control of educational matters of such proposed consolidated school tax district in said city board of education, the county board of education and city board of education shall agree upon the terms of consolidation and concurrently request the county commission to call an election in all the territory proposed to be consolidated to determine whether such school tax district or territory adjacent to said city school tax district should be consolidated with the city school tax district and the educational affairs of all the territory proposed to be consolidated placed under the control of the city board of education of such city, and whether or not a special tax for a uniform rate and time shall be voted for such proposed school tax district. In the event of such consolidation, the rate and time of the three-mill district tax, if levied, shall be for such time as prescribed in the agreement between the boards; provided, that the rate and time shall not be less than the maximum rate and the maximum time of any such district or territory included in said consolidation.
