Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Excludes principals and assistant principals from joint agreements to share services with other school districts. Specifies what other administrators may be shared. Provides that the joint agreement must contain clear and equitable funding formulas covering each school district's obligations and must be filed with each applicable regional office of education (rather than only the State Board of Education). Requires the State Board of Education to provide technical support as requested by the school districts or the regional office of education. Provides that shared administrator services may not alter an individual school board's authority to make decisions on behalf of a school district. Provides that if, within 6 months after passage of a referendum or adoption of a resolution, the school boards who are parties to the joint agreement are unable to reach an agreement on how they will share the services of a superintendent or other administrator, the regional office of education that has supervision and control of the school districts that are sharing services or, if more than one, the regional office of education that has supervision and control of the largest portion of the affected school districts must assist in the development of the joint agreement. Provides that a petition to enter into or withdraw from a joint agreement must be filed with the school board's secretary (rather than the applicable election authority or, in the case of multiple election authorities, with the State Board of Elections) no more than 92 days (rather than no more 10 months and no less 3 months) prior to the election at which the question is to be submitted to the voters. Makes conforming and other changes.
