The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6206, seeks to amend section 10-158a of the general statutes regarding the notice period required for a board of education to withdraw from cooperative arrangements with other boards of education. The bill stipulates that any board wishing to withdraw must now provide a notice period of three years, as opposed to the current requirement of one year.

This change aims to enhance stability and planning for educational collaborations by ensuring that boards of education give ample notice before exiting cooperative agreements. The bill reflects a shift towards longer-term commitments in educational partnerships, thereby potentially improving the continuity of educational services provided to students.
