18A:13-34a Board of education for newly created regional district.

1. Notwithstanding any section of law to the contrary, the boards of education proposing to form a newly created regional school district may by resolution frame and adopt a proposal to calculate and apportion the membership of the board of education of the newly created regional district other than in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.18A:13-8. If the commissioner approves the alternative apportionment, then that alternative apportionment shall be included in the consultation, study, and investigation conducted pursuant to N.J.S.18A:13-34 to determine whether it is advisable for school districts to form a newly created regional school district. If the commissioner or his representative determines that it is advisable for such districts to form a newly created regional school district, and the question of whether or not the proposal to create a regional district is submitted to the voters pursuant to N.J.S.18A:13-34, and the proposal is adopted by the voters pursuant to N.J.S.18A:13-35, then the members of the board of education of the regional district shall be elected in accordance with such alternate apportionment.
