school directors of the district of residence shall have
assigned the pupils to [a] an elementary school or high school
and adequate transportation is provided thereto. Pupils who
reside in a school district in which no public high school,
other than a vocational high school is maintained, may attend,
during the entire term, the nearest or most conveniently located
academic high school. In any district which maintains a high
school whose program of studies terminates before the end of the
twelfth year, pupils who have satisfactorily completed the
program of studies there available in other than vocational
schools or departments, or have completed a program of studies
equivalent to said program of studies in some other school or
schools, may attend, at the expense of the school district in
which they live, and for the purpose of pursuing academic
studies of a higher grade, the nearest or most conveniently
located high school of such type as they may desire to attend
giving further high school work.
(b) If a third class school district operating under a chief
recovery officer appointed pursuant to section 631-A has, with
the approval of the Secretary of Education, curtailed its
educational program by eliminating its elementary school, the
school district shall assign the pupils of the elementary school
to an elementary school in another school district that has
agreed to enroll such pupils on a tuition basis. If a third
class school district operating under a [special board of
control] chief recovery officer appointed pursuant to section
[692] 631-A has, with the approval of the Secretary of
Education, curtailed its educational program by eliminating its
high school and has not assigned its high school pupils to
another school district and provided adequate transportation in
