What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill authorizes the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to award grants

of up to $10,000 to consortia of two or more school districts to study ways of improving

efficiency and reducing costs by working cooperatively or to study the feasibility of

consolidating the school districts. A consortium awarded a grant to study ways of

improving efficiency must provide an amount equal to 20 percent of the amount of

the grant. The bill prohibits DPI from awarding more than one grant to the same

consortium in the same school year.
