The district shall pay the tuition of all pupils resident within the district
who are qualified to attend and are attending a standard public high school

The district shall provide for transportation to the nearest standard public
high school which pupils may attend. Reasonable board and room may be furnished

(Lengthening Course of Study)
335.482 Definitions for ORS 335.495 to
335.505. As used in ORS 335.495 to 335.505:
(1)
“Component school district” means a common school district lying wholly or
partly inside the boundaries of a union high school district.
(2)
“Split school district” means a component school district lying partly inside
and partly outside the boundaries of a union high school district or an
elementary district where students attend two or more union high school
districts upon completing either the sixth or eighth grades. [1967 c.106 §5;
1987 c.195 §4; 1993 c.45 §69]
335.485
[Repealed by 1965 c.100 §456]
335.490 Extension of union high school
course of study. (1) Except as otherwise provided
in subsection (2) of this section, any union high school district may, when
authorized by the electors of the district, extend the course of study in the
district to include five years above the seventh grade or six years above the
sixth grade, and in like descending order may extend its course to include
kindergarten or any or all grades of the schools in the union high school
district in the manner provided in ORS 335.495 to 335.505. The decision to vote
the course of study down to include kindergarten shall include, upon request of
district electors or the district school board, a decision on whether, in the
case of a board consisting of five members, the number of members of the board
shall be increased to seven members.
(2)
No union high school district shall extend the course of study in the union
high school district unless such course of study is extended to include
kindergarten and grades 1 through 12, of the schools in the union high school
district.
(3)
When a union high school district extends the course of study, the extension
applies to all component school districts lying wholly within the union high
school district. [Amended by 1965 c.100 §216; 1967 c.106 §1; 1987 c.195 §2;
1993 c.45 §70; 1993 c.329 §5; 1997 c.521 §20]
335.495 Election to lengthen course;
ballot title if single district would result. (1)
Any union high school board may, or shall upon petition of 100 electors of the
district, submit to the electors of the district the question of lengthening
the course of study in the district. The petition is subject to ORS 332.118.
The election shall be held at the next date under ORS 255.345 by which the
requirements for the election can be met.
(2)
ORS chapter 255 governs the conduct of an election under this section. If a
union high school district contains a split district, the electors from the
split district shall not participate in an election under this section.
(3)
If the result of the election to lengthen the course of study includes all
grades within one single district, the ballot title must include a statement
that the effect of an affirmative vote is that the component common and union
high school districts shall be merged and only one common school district shall
operate in the area in which the election is held. The ballot title must also
list all affected school districts by name and district number, and specify
which of those districts will be merged pursuant to ORS 335.505 if the measure
is approved. The listing of affected school districts by name and district
number shall not be considered part of the ballot title for the purpose of
determining the number of words permitted under ORS 250.035.
(4)
The union high school board may submit to the electors of the district the
question of distribution of existing bonded debt. [Amended by 1957 c.310 §24;
1965 c.100 §217; 1967 c.106 §2; 1979 c.131 §1; 1983 c.83 §70; 1983 c.284 §13;
1983 c.350 §190; 1987 c.195 §3; 1993 c.136 §5; 1993 c.329 §6]
335.500 Procedure after election to
lengthen course; effective date of change. (1) If
the union high school board determines that a majority of votes cast in the
union high school district at an election under ORS 335.495 are for the
proposal to lengthen the course of study, it shall:
(a)
Declare the proposal carried and certify the result to the district boundary
board; and
(b)
Submit to the Department of Education the complete course of study in the
district.
(2)
The lengthened course of study shall become effective the July 1 next following
approval of the course by the State Board of Education. [Amended by 1957 c.310 §25;
1965 c.100 §218; 1967 c.103 §1; 1983 c.350 §191; 1989 c.491 §22; 1993 c.329 §7]
335.502 Cost of educating elementary
pupils after course lengthened to include elementary grades.
Whenever the course of study in a union high school district is extended to include
grades below the ninth grade, the union high school district shall be
responsible for providing for the education of the pupils in the included
grades and the cost of educating such pupils shall be included in the union
high school district budget and not in the budgets of the component common
school districts. [1953 c.390 §1; 1965 c.100 §219]
335.505 Transformation of union high
school district into common school district; continued existence of part of
split district; effect on employees. (1) Notwithstanding
any other statute, whenever kindergarten and grades 1 through 12 of the common
schools within the union high school district come under the jurisdiction of
the union high school board or whenever as a result of merger or boundary
change the area within the boundaries of the union high school district becomes
a single component school district having boundaries coterminous with the union
high school district, the union high school district and its component
districts other than split districts are to be considered merged and the area
within the boundaries of the union high school district, excluding that part of
any split school district that is within the boundaries, becomes a common
school district responsible for educating children in kindergarten and grades 1
through 12 and all territory therein is withdrawn from any other type of school
district except the education service district or the community college
district of which it may have been a part.
(2)
The union high school board shall continue as the board of the district. If the
board is increased to seven members as part of the vote to lengthen the course
of study or the merger proposal, the board shall appoint the two additional
members in the manner prescribed for filling vacancies under ORS 332.030 (4),
except that the board shall establish by lot the terms of office of the
appointed members at less than an initial four-year term.
(3)
The terms of all board members in all component school districts other than
split school districts shall terminate at the time the union high school board
becomes the district school board.
(4)
All property and obligations of the component school districts other than split
school districts shall become the property and obligations of the new common
school district except to the extent that it was otherwise provided when such
district is formed by merger.
(5)
Whenever at the time a new common school district is formed as provided in
subsection (1) of this section, if any component school district is a split
school district, such district shall continue to exist and shall become
responsible for education in kindergarten and grades 1 through 12 for students
resident in the split district.
(6)
No school district employee shall be deprived of seniority or accumulated sick
leave solely because the duties of the employee have been assumed or acquired
by another school district as a result of lengthening the course of study.
(7)
As used in this section, “property and obligations” includes all contractual
obligations, employment and service contracts, collective bargaining agreements
and district assets and liabilities. [Amended by 1965 c.100 §220; 1967 c.106 §3;
1975 c.770 §46; 1983 c.350 §192; 1987 c.195 §1; 1993 c.45 §71; 1993 c.329 §8;

c.607 §74; repealed by 2011 c.313 §25]
(Adding Districts)
335.525 Effect of election to add
districts to union high school district. In an
election to add districts to a union high school district, if the district
boundary board determines that the proposition carried in the union high school
district by a majority of votes cast, and also carried in one or more of the
common school districts by a majority of the votes cast in each district, it
shall declare the proposition carried as to those common school districts only
in which the proposition prevailed, and shall immediately proceed to change the
boundaries of the union high school district to include those districts desiring
to be added thereto. [1989 c.819 §7]
