Union school district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A union school district or union high school district in California state law is a school district that has been formed by the consolidation of "two or more school districts situated in the same county"[1]. A Joint union school district is similar, but the component districts are "situated wholly or in part in different counties"[2]. Union school districts are distinct from unified school districts in that union districts do not necessarily have both primary and secondary components, whereas a unified district by definition has both.
[edit] School names
There are also several school districts named simply "Union School District":
Note that the Union School District in San Jose is not actually a "union school district"; it was named in support of the Union Army during the American Civil War.
