(1) If a school district or group of
districts that is adjacent to a local college district or located entirely within the boundaries of the
local district college's service area, as determined by the Colorado commission on higher
education, desires to be annexed to the existing local college district, it may do so by satisfying
both of the following requirements:
(a) By obtaining approval of the existing local college district. The approval is given
only upon a majority vote of the eligible electors of the existing local college district as
expressed by a majority polled at the time of a regular election held in the local college district.
The election is called only upon an affirmative vote of the board of trustees.
(b) The school district desiring to be annexed votes to approve the annexation at a
regular election. The election is called only upon the affirmative vote of the school district board
of education. If a single school district desires to be annexed, the annexation is effected by a
majority vote of the eligible electors of the district. If two or more school districts desire
annexation as a group, the annexation is effected only by a majority vote in favor thereof in each
district desiring annexation. If there is not a majority vote in favor of the annexation in any
district in the group, then the annexation does not occur for the group of districts, but any
individual district in the group that had a majority vote in favor of the annexation is annexed to
the local college district.
