Morphology
The meaning 'an area with defined boundaries whose public schools are administered by a common local authority' is directly derivable from combining 'school' (educational institution) and 'district' (an area for official administration). This straightforward noun+noun compositional pattern is common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
School district pictures an area on a map with many school buildings that are run together by one local office called a district. So, a school district means an 'area' whose public schools are 'managed together' by the same authority.
