Although the term "school district" is popularly used, a school division in Virginia differs from a School District in most states in the following key respect. Unlike school districts in most states, a Virginia school division is not a separate Local Government , but instead depends on appropriations and budget approvals from its associated general-purpose local government or governments (county, city, town). Legally, it is a Political Subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia statute authorizes a school division to contract with a neighboring school division for school functions.
