District method <br />. At-large method <br />. Combination of district and at-large method <br />^ Can be partisan or non-partisan <br />^ Election plan must comply with State and Federal Constitution and 1965 Voting <br />Rights Act and be approved by the United States Department of Justice prior to State <br />Board of Education approval <br />Public Referendum <br />^ In accordance with NC General Statute 115C-68.1(c), BOCC initiated consolidation <br />cannot be subject to a referendum <br />^ In the absence of authority from the General Assembly, such anon-binding <br />referendum should not occur <br />^ Referendum associated with Guilford County merger was the result of a local act of <br />the General Assembly <br />Responsibility for Operation of Schools During Merger <br />. In reviewing other jurisdictions' merger studies and plans, there appears to be some <br />variation and flexibility <br />. Examples include: <br />Existing school boards continue to operate for some defined period <br />. Either through the end of the current fiscal year or until the effective date of <br />merger <br />Interim board may be appointed by BOCC for a period of time, such as one <br />fiscal/academic year <br />
