No new school district shall be planned by an area education agency board nor shall
any proposal for creation or enlargement of any school district be approved by an area
education agency board or submitted to electors unless there reside within the proposed
limits of such district at least three hundred persons of school age who were enrolled in
public schools in the preceding school year. Provided, however, that the director of the
department of education shall have authority to grant permission to an area education
agency board to approve the formation or enlargement of a school district containing a
lower school enrollment than required in this section on the written request of such area
education agency board if such request is accompanied by evidence tending to show that
sparsity of population, natural barriers or other good reason makes it impracticable to meet
the school enrollment requirement.
