If district splits, what's next?

The new school district has basically one year to hire a superintendent and get all the organizational structure of a new district in place? You're kidding me. It will be next to impossible, and a job no one in their right mind would want to undertake.

I'm very curious about how the first step "allocating resources" happens. Maybe the DN could interview somebody and give us some insight into this process.

For example...
- Do they just give the buildings to the district they are located in?
- Do they have to pay for them? I would think at least the ones we are currently paying for, someone would have to finish paying that debt.

Just curious how it would work.

KH -- no one knows the first steps in allocating resources. The remaining district establishes a transition team and the cities establish their transition team. The two meet and basically duke it out. Some think the buildings will go with whatever geographical district it is in. From some of the comments I've been reading, the district thinks it will retain its one-of-a-kind programs like Valley, tech centers, special schools, etc. I heard someone refer to all of this as a "bad divorce." That's a good enough description that I will vote no so the kids aren't the ones caught in the middle.
