The Legislature required the board of each school district in the State that will not be in a newly unified structure by July 1, 2019 to submit a “Sec. 9 Proposal” by December 26, 2017 in which the school board:
- analyzes the district’s current ability to meet the Act 46 Goals;
- recounts its conversations with other districts on ways to improve opportunity, equity, and efficiency regionally; and
- presents a proposal to improve by either merging with other districts; working with other districts in some other way; or retaining the same governance structure.
As of January 17, 2018, the school boards of 74 school districts in 67 communities have submitted a total of 36 proposals under Section 9.
