An act to amend Section 35000 of the Education Code, relating to school administration. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST Existing law requires the first governing board of a new school district to name the district at the first meeting or as soon as practicable thereafter, as specified. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. Section 35000 of the Education Code is amended to read: 35000. (a) The first governing board of a new school district shall, at the first meeting of the governing board or as soon as practicable thereafter, name the school district. (b) The name of an elementary school district shall be in the form of “____ District” (using the name of the district). The name of an elementary school district shall not include a number. (c) The name of a unified school district shall be in the form of “____ Unified School District” (using the name of the district). A number shall not be used as a part of the designation of a unified school district.
