Authorizes two or more school districts in certain counties to enter into a contract to establish and operate a regional high school
This bill allows school districts in a specific county (with a 2020 census population between 134,903 and 134,907) to form a regional high school through a contract approved by the education commissioner, not voters. The contract must cover at least two school years, require operations from July 1 to June 30, and specify student transportation costs. Students attending the regional school participate in its own extracurricular activities and cannot join activities at their home districts. The bill also ensures staff from participating districts can transfer to the hosting district with tenure rights, and unused staff are placed on a preferred list for future vacancies.
