Bill Summary

Relative to the powers and duties of regional school districts. Education.

AI Summary

This bill allows a regional school district to act as a "fiscal agent," meaning it can handle the financial responsibilities for shared services, if that regional district, along with one or more towns or a superintendency union (a group of school districts sharing administrative staff), have jointly hired the same superintendent and central office staff. To do this, the regional district must first create a formal written agreement with the town or towns or superintendency union involved, outlining how the regional district will bill them for these services and the payment of personnel.
