The bill establishes the School District Shared Services Task Force in New Jersey, aimed at studying the utilization of shared services among school districts and developing recommendations to enhance their efficiency and delivery. The task force will consist of nine members, including the Commissioner of Education and the Commissioner of Community Affairs, along with public members appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor, representing various associations related to municipalities, counties, and school boards. The task force is tasked with examining current shared service arrangements, implementation challenges, necessary funding, and the potential impact of shared services on school district consolidation.

The task force is required to issue a final report to the Governor and the Legislature within one year of its formation, detailing its findings and recommendations for improving shared services in school districts. The task force will dissolve upon the submission of this report. This initiative aims to promote cost efficiency and programming equity among school districts, ultimately providing more choices for students and parents.
