Massachusetts S3005 amends voting procedures for regional school district proposals in towns.

Massachusetts S3005 modifies the process for voting on proposed regional school district agreements in towns. It mandates that the select board or council must hold a vote on the proposed agreement within 30 days of receiving the recommendation. The vote can occur at an annual or special town meeting or election, depending on the town's meeting format. If a majority of voters in each participating town approve the agreement, the regional school district will be established. The bill specifies the wording for the ballot question and the timeline for holding the vote.
