So from my understanding, school districts are only comprised of public schools (including charter schools) and can either be independent or dependent. If they're independent, they rely on themselves for funding and tax money, but if they're dependent, they rely on either the local or state government for funding and regulation. And when they're independent, they can make their own rules as long as they don't contradict those made by the state or county, kind of like a state's relationship to the country. But my question is, since school districts can cross over to more than one county or more than one state, how do they know who's regulations to follow if they're independent, or who they're getting taxes/funding from if they're dependent?
