SECTION 2600-2603
2600. Every county superintendent shall inquire and ascertain whether the boundaries of the school districts and community college districts in his county are definitely and plainly described in the records of the board of supervisors and keep in his office a full and correct transcript of the boundaries. If the boundaries of districts are conflicting or incorrectly described, or if, by reason of the resubdivision of land or other change of property lines, the location of the boundaries becomes indefinite or conflicts with lines of assessment, the board of supervisors may correct and relocate the boundaries to follow definite, established property lines, conforming as nearly as practicable to the general location of the former boundaries. Where boundary lines are corrected or relocated, the relocation of the new lines shall be made in such a manner that the majority of the area of the parcel or property affected determines the district in which the parcel or property is located. Nothing herein contained authorizes the board of supervisors, in relocating the boundaries, to substantially alter the former boundaries of school districts, or community college districts. 2601. Whenever the boundary line of any school district or community college district is described as being "to" or "from" the ocean shore, such description means to or from a point three miles seaward from the shore. Whenever the boundary line of any school district or community college district is described as being "along," "with," "by," or "on" the ocean shore, such description means on a line parallel with and three miles seaward from the shore. Nothing contained in this section shall retroactively alter, enlarge, diminish or otherwise affect the powers, jurisdiction, rights, duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of any such school district or community college district. 2602. Whenever any school district or community college district has been or is hereafter intersected by any county boundary line in the formation of any new county, or in changing the boundary of any county, and portions of the district then lie in different counties, the district shall, by operation of law, constitute and become established as a joint school district, at the time of the intersection, unless otherwise provided. 2603. The county superintendent may, if he deems it necessary, order a description of the boundaries of any district under his jurisdiction printed in pamphlet form and pay for the pamphlets out of the county school service fund.
