of the district, the school district's board of education shall
consult in good faith in an effort to reach agreement with the

affected by the change, and with the community at large. Such
consultation shall include at least one public hearing for which the
board has given adequate notice to the employees and to the parents
of pupils affected.
In school districts where a continuous school program is
implemented in fewer than all of the schools maintained by the
school district, the board of education of such a school district

the regular school schedule to schools of the same level retaining
the regular school schedule.

to the provisions of this chapter shall divide the students of each
selected school into as many groups as necessary to adequately
accommodate a continuous school program so established and
