school district, OR, IN A CITY WITH A POPULATION OF ONE MILLION OR MORE,
TO A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY EDUCATION COUNCIL DISTRICT, the proposed new
school district OR COMMUNITY EDUCATION COUNCIL DISTRICT shall also hold
such hearing. In addition, such school districts shall be given an
opportunity to comment on the proposed charter to the charter entity and
