The Public School Code (24 P.S. § § 1-101—27-2702) carries numerous provisions for school district organization and changes in school district boundaries as follows:
- (1) In annexation for school purposes, the Board’s responsibilities are found in provisions of Article II, sections 226—229 (24 P.S. § § 2-226—2-229) and 271—277 (24 P.S. § § 2-271—2-277).
- (2) School district reorganization authority, as it applies to joint schools, is found in Article XVII of the Public School Code. Section 224 (24 P.S. § § 2-224) specifically deals with State Board approval of further reorganization of administrative units or school districts, or both, reorganized under Act 299 of 1963 (24 P.S. § § 2-290—2-298) and Act 150 of 1968 (24 P.S. § § 2-2400—2-2400.10).
- (3) To make minor changes in school district boundaries without disturbing municipal boundaries, section 242.1 (24 P.S. § 2-242.1) applies and provides for Board approval.
