The project involves the creation of two new unified districts: the Greenfield Unified School District, formed by unifying the Greenfield Union Elementary School District and Greenfield High School, and the King City Unified School District, formed by unifying the King City Elementary School District, King City High School, Pinnacle Coastal Valley High School, and Portola-Butler Continuation High School.
