Allows the school board of a high school district located in a Class II county school unit to withdraw from the jurisdiction and authority of the trustees of schools and the township treasurer of a township in which all or any part of the school district is located if the school boards of the underlying elementary school districts whose territory includes all or any part of the territory included within that high school district and whose student population represents at least 50% of the total student population of that high school district consent to the proposed withdrawal.
