of the  petition.   Upon  receipt  of  the  notification  and
statement, the governing board of the joint agreement program

and  approval by the regional board of school trustees of the
educational service region whose regional  superintendent  of
schools  has  supervision  and control of that community unit
school district in accordance with the provisions of  Section
