Section 10-63m - Approval or rejection of plan recommended by regional school reapportionment committee.

(a) Upon receipt of a recommended plan of representation from a regional school reapportionment committee, the State Board of Education shall examine same and within thirty days of receipt either approve or reject said plan, and so notify the regional school reapportionment committee.

(b) If the State Board of Education rejects the recommended plan of representation, it shall return it to the regional school reapportionment committee and shall in a written report advise the committee of the reasons for rejection, and suggest modifications to make the plan consistent with federal constitutional standards. The committee shall, within twenty days after receiving the plan back from the State Board of Education with the report, revise the plan and resubmit it to the Board of Education. If the regional school reapportionment committee refuses to revise the plan, or if it submits to the State Board of Education a plan which the board determines is not consistent with federal constitutional standards, then the provisions of section 10-63s shall apply.

(c) If the State Board of Education approves the plan of representation submitted by the regional school reapportionment committee, it shall certify to the town clerk in each town of the regional school district that the recommended plan has been approved and the State Board of Education shall send a copy of such certification to the regional school reapportionment committee. The town clerk shall make available copies of the certification to the public, and publish notice of it and the approved plan in a newspaper having general circulation in the town. The regional school reapportionment committee shall hold a public meeting in each town of the regional school district to present the approved plan of representation.
