(a) The agreement among the consolidating districts may include a governance plan designed to preserve community-based and site-based decision making within the consolidated district, including the delegation of specific powers of the governing board of the district other than the power to levy taxes, including a provision authorized by Section 13.158(b).
(b) The governance plan may provide for a transitional board of trustees during the first year after consolidation, but beginning with the next year the board of trustees must be elected from within the boundaries of the consolidated district.
