In plain language

The bill extends school district contract lengths from 2 to 4 years during deactivation processes.

This legislation allows deactivating school districts to enter into contracts with receiving districts for 4 years instead of 2. The contract can be renewed for a mutually agreed upon time.

Summary

Amends the School Boards Article of the School Code. Provides that the length of a contract between a deactivating school district that is seeking to send its students to more than one district and the receiving district shall be for 4 (rather than 2) school years, but the districts may renew the contract for a length of time that is mutually agreed upon by the districts (rather than for additional one-year or 2-year periods).
