SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula Public Education Consortium. Establishes the Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula Public Education Consortium, governed by a board consisting of the region's school superintendents, the president or his designee of Rappahannock Community College, the Director of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and seven citizen members representing business, industry, and community interests in the region. The region's legislators will serve as nonvoting, advisory members of the board. The board may appoint additional nonvoting, advisory members to assist in the performance of its duties. The Consortium is to coordinate with educational institutions and agencies in the Commonwealth and surrounding areas to develop joint educational initiatives; promote and establish, in conjunction with the Department of Education and the region's public school divisions, regional programs to address area educational needs; coordinate the development and sharing of programs, educational techniques, and resources among and between the region's school divisions and institutions of higher education; and provide technical assistance to school divisions for the implementation of effective educational programs. From such funds as may be appropriated or received, an executive director may be appointed and is authorized to employ staff. This bill will not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating its purposes is included in the 2000 appropriation act, passed during the 2000 Session of the General Assembly, and signed into law by the Governor.
