It must report findings and recommendations to state leaders by November 1, 2026. The bill directly affects SAU 6 (the school district facing financial issues) and the Department of Education (the agency under investigation). The committee consists of 5 members (2 Senate, 3 House) with powers to gather evidence and propose future safeguards.
