ND Guide to Annexations Manual: 

This manual is a guide for residents, County Superintendents, and school districts regarding the process of annexation to school districts in the State of North Dakota. The Office of Attorney General intends for this manual to be a primary resource for a County
Superintendent to use as a reference to draft the annexation petition; findings of fact of the County Committee; and submission of materials to the State Board of Public School Education for consideration. County officials should always seek review and input from their State’s Attorney regarding the annexation process.
