Unified School Districts

What is the story with “unified” school districts? Are there un-unified school districts? And what’s the correct term — un-unified, non-unified, not unified, fied?
In these areas without unified schools, do you see kids and teachers walking aimlessly in parks? “What can I tell you,” explains the teacher, “we’re not unified.”

California and many other Western states are like Illinois in that they have unified school districts, or school districts which comprise primary AND secondary schools. School districts can be designed so they have just primary schools in their district, or just secondary schools. The “unifiying” concept is that the the district offers grades K-12 in its schools.
Don’t ask me how I know this.

Once two schools join to make a district, are they not unified? Why add “unified” to the name?

Probably because there are a lot of school districts which aren’t unified, composed only of primary or only of secondary schools. To be considered a “unified” school district, there have to be both primary and secondary schools in that district.
