Article 2: PROCEDURE FOR FORMATION OF AN INTERSTATE SCHOOL DISTRICT
20-A §3605. Creation of planning committee

§3605. Creation of planning committee
The Maine and New Hampshire commissioners of education have the power acting jointly to constitute and discharge one or more interstate school district planning committees. Each such planning committee consists of at least 2 voters from each of a group of 2 or more neighboring member districts. One of the representatives from each member district must be a member of its school board, whose term on the planning committee is concurrent with that member's term as a school board member. The term of each member of a planning committee who is not also a school board member expires on June 30th of the 3rd year following that member's appointment. The existence of any planning committee may be terminated either by vote of a majority of its members or by joint action of the commissioners. In forming and appointing members to an interstate school district planning board, the commissioners shall consider and take into account recommendations and nominations made by school boards of member districts. A member of a planning committee may not be disqualified because that member is at the same time a member of another planning board or committee created under this compact or under any other provisions of law. Any existing informal interstate school planning committee may be reconstituted as a formal planning committee in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, and its previous deliberations adopted and ratified by the reorganized formal planning committee. Vacancies on a planning committee must be filled by the commissioners acting jointly.   [RR 2019, c. 2, Pt. B, §3 (COR).]
