This approach has been facilitated by a change in NY State Law a few years ago, but the Regents and Commissioner immediately blunted that law by limiting eligibility to districts with less than 1,000 students.
I think the 1,000-student limitation is arbitrary and capricious on the part of the Regents & Commissioner. It is also above and beyond the letter of the law and the history of the law's legislative negotiations. But no one is challenging this Commissioner's Regulation in court, because there is no case through which to challenge it. And there won't be any case through which to lodge a court challenge, because the Commissioner's Regulation forbids districts with less than 1,000 students from even considering sharing a single Superintendent.
Food for thought...perhaps a harbinger of things to come in the future?
A good friend of ours was Superintended for a number of years over two school districts in Connecticut.
