This presentation will follow the Mock Board stage event. Conducted by a Board attorney and a Board member, in which the attorney will give a brief overview of the legalities of shared services between two school districts, or between school districts and municipalities, while the Board member will present her experiences with shared services from a personal perspective.
The presentation will inform Boards of Education how to begin the shared service programs. Many BOE's and Towns do not know where to begin promoting shared services. The "Courier" newspaper featured an article in March 7th edition on the Governor's plan to take away state aid if shared services are not instituted. I will discuss how the South Plainfield Board of Education and the South Plainfield Boro Council are working together.
