Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a school district that meets all of the requirements shall be withdrawn from the joint agreement on the date that the school district specifies in both the notice sent to other school districts pursuant to the joint agreement and the resolution passed by the board as long as the notice was given at least 18 months before the date specified.
