Sec. 31.
(1) A school district or 2 or more school districts that operate grades kindergarten through 12 may form a community college district. If resolutions of the boards of education of school districts requesting the organization of the community college district are filed with the secretary of the board of education of the intermediate school district having the highest valuation in the proposed community college district area, he or she shall refer the questions of organizing the community college district and the proposed annual tax rate to the superintendent of public instruction for approval. If the board of education of a single school district adopts a resolution requesting the organization of a community college district, the secretary of the board of education of that district shall refer those questions to the superintendent of public instruction for approval.
(2) For the purpose of this chapter, a school district operating grades kindergarten through 12 may form a community college district even though a part of the district is within an existing community college district. Except as provided in section 46, that part of the school district shall not be included in the area of the community college district and an elector who resides in that part of the school district is not eligible to vote at the organizational election or at any community college district election.
