AMENDMENT FOR PRINTED BILL
1293ca

___________________ moved that HB 1293 be amended as follows:

     On page 2, after line 2, insert:

"

     After the secretary of education creates the school administration regions and provides notice of those regions to the school boards of all school districts, any school district adjoining a school district exempt from the provisions of this Act may, instead of joining the school administration region to which it was assigned, opt to have its administrative services and any other school services, as agreed upon by both districts, provided by employees of the adjoining exempt school district. Any such request for a reassignment, however, may only be made prior to the organization of the school administration region boards, and all requests shall be approved by the secretary. Once the reassignments are complete, the secretary shall redraw the boundaries of the school administration regions accordingly.".

     On page 2, delete lines 6 and 7.

     On page 2, line 8, delete "region board".

     On page 2, line 8, after "shall" insert ", to the extent practicable,".

     On page 2, line 24, after "regions," insert "to establish policies relative to the formation of school administration region boards and the membership and voting requirements of those boards, to establish the process whereby a school district may opt to share the personnel of an adjoining exempt school district,".
