A '''school district''' is a special-purpose [[local government]] that is established specifically to operate public [[school]]s.  In the [[United States]], most [[state]]s have '''independent''' school districts (where the school board operates independently of a city or county), while a few (e.g., [[Maryland]] and [[Virginia]]) subordinate schools to a general-purpose local government such as a [[city]] or a [[county]].
