In addition to significantly reducing costs, the proposal would (1) provide a clear framework for identifying which types of activities are worth requiring of all districts, (2) set the groundwork for a system that is more transparent and equitable as well as less cumbersome for districts, and (3) allow policy committees to decide how to treat specific mandates moving forward. 5-24-11
