In some U.S. states, a union school district or union high school district is a school district that has been formed by the consolidation of "two or more school districts situated in the same county". A Joint union school district is similar, but the component districts are "situated wholly or in part in different counties". Union school districts are distinct from unified school districts in that union districts do not necessarily include both primary or grade schools and high schools, whereas a unified district includes all grades. (Vermont has a different distinction, as explained below.)
