如何防止实体框架在保存父实体时保存子实体？

using (var context = new DatabaseContext())
{
    context.Set<School>().Add(newItem);
    context.Entry(newItem.City).State = EntityState.Unchanged;
    context.SaveChanges();
}

public class City
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class School
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("City_Id")]
    public City City { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public int City_Id { get; set; }
}

    public School Insert(School newItem, int cityId)
    {
        if (cityId <= 0)
        {
            throw new Exception("City ID not provided");
        }

        newItem.City = null;
        newItem.City_Id = cityId;

        using (var context = new DatabaseContext())
        {
            context.Set<School>().Add(newItem);
            context.SaveChanges();
        }
    }
