Best Answer: It depends on the definition that the state has. In Oklahoma, for example, an Independent school district is one that has at least one high school. That means that they can educate, within their district, students from K-12. By contrast, a dependent school district is one that educates K-8, and is dependent on a neighboring independent school district to send their high school age students to. Of course, another state may have a completely different definition. You'll need to provide more info on where you live for a more specific answer.

How long is a day on Mercury? A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis. Mercury rotates very slowly compared to Earth so a day on Mercury is much longer than a day on Earth. A day on Mercury is 58.646 Earth days or 1407.5 hours long while a day on Earth is 23.934 hours long. Cool Cosmos is an IPAC website. Based on Government Sponsored Research NAS7-03001 and NNN12AA01C.
