Schools Districts Share Services

The Senate also passed A-4 (Roberts, Wisniewski)/S-10 (Smith), which would make it easier for municipalities and school districts to voluntarily share services. The measure includes provisions for greater local government budget transparency, simpler rules to facilitate local government regionalization and cooperation, and a greater oversight role for county school superintendents to push local school districts towards more cost-cutting, efficiency and cooperation. This bill goes back to the Assembly to concur with Senate amendments.
