N.Y. Education Law § 2604: Division of city school district into school election districts; elections held in schoolhouses

§ 2604. Division of city school district into school election

districts; elections held in schoolhouses. The board of education of

each city school district shall adopt a resolution on or before the

first day of April, preceding the first annual school election held

hereunder, dividing the city school district into school election

districts. The city school district shall be so divided that if

circumstances will permit, school election districts will be coterminous

with one or more general election districts, and that, if practicable,

there shall be a schoolhouse in each election district. The election

districts thus formed shall continue in existence until modified by

resolution of the board of education. Such resolution shall accurately

describe the boundaries of such election districts by streets, alleys

and highways, when practicable. School elections shall be held in such

school election districts so far as may be possible in the public

schoolhouses therein. If there is no public schoolhouse in a school

election district, the board of education shall by resolution designate

the place where the election in such district shall be held.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the board of

education of any city school district of a city of less than ten

thousand inhabitants may, by resolution, designate the entire city

school district as a single school district.
