The Partnership’s Administrative Services project has been established to communicate and coordinate the development of administrative service plans around the state which identify efficiencies of operation and potential savings for the benefit of local school districts. Activities of the project include the review of education service district local service plans, the development of measures of efficiency for administrative services, identification of exemplary practices for efficiencies in administrative services, the development of pilot projects for efficiencies in administrative services, and the formulation of recommendations to further enhance the efficient operation of ESD’s and local school districts. The progress in finding, implementing and measuring such efficiencies will be reported to the 2007 Legislature. The project will be guided by an advisory committee made up of ESD and local school district superintendents, business managers and human resource directors. The project director will provide monthly progress reports to the Education Enterprise Steering Committee and will complete a final report at the end of the project year in June.
