AN ACT INCREASING THE NOTICE PERIOD TO WITHDRAW FROM A COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN BOARDS OF EDUCATION.

HB 6206 requires school boards to provide three years' notice before withdrawing from cooperative education agreements with other school districts, increasing the current one-year notice period. This directly affects any school board that has entered into a cooperative arrangement with another district for shared services or programs. The key provision extends the withdrawal timeline from one year to three years, aiming to provide greater stability for ongoing collaborative educational initiatives. The bill applies to all existing and future cooperative agreements between school boards.
