Arizona School’s Redistricting Commission was tasked with unifying 108 Elementary School districts and 15 Union districts that served students from K -12. The goal was to create 27 larger Unified school districts, so as to efficiently redistribute administrative costs and make the schools more competitive.

The commission, established by state law (Senate Bill 1068) needed to review school districts that were not “unified,” meaning they don’t offer instruction from preschool through grade 12.
