The result was keep. I'm going to go ahead and close this early, per WP:SNOW. As noted below, OUTCOMES states ""Populated, legally-recognized places" include school districts, which conveys near-inherent notability to school districts per Wikipedia:Notability (geography)." Nowhere do we see that school districts lose notability if there are no high schools, as claimed. (non-admin closure) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

a school district with no high schools is just as nonnotable as a middle or elementery school. delete per guidelines on elementary/middle school articles on wp: must have notability beyond simply existing. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:06, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - An elementary school district is a geographic entity much like a city, town, or county. In California school districts are separate from city and county governments and tax residents like any other local government. As per Common outcomes the common outcome is to keep a school district article. Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes states: "Populated, legally-recognized places" include school districts, which conveys near-inherent notability to school districts per Wikipedia:Notability (geography)."
