The state board may formulate and adopt additional standards consistent with this purpose and these standards; and the state board shall approve plans for the establishment of area schools only after determining that such establishment will be in accord with such standards and purposes set forth herein.||II. Geographical Plan. The state board is authorized and directed to prepare and publish a plan subdividing the territory of the state into suggested regions for area schools indicating the suggested receiving district or districts for the schools of each region, which shall be compatible with the plan for suggested cooperative school districts, and which plan shall meet the standards formulated under paragraph I. This plan shall be reasonably compatible with the areas of the several school administrative units. From time to time thereafter the state board may modify such plan.||III. Advisory Powers of State Board. The state board may prepare recommended forms of written plans for area schools and for enlargement of the areas served thereby and may furnish its advisory services to area school planning boards or school boards who have such matters under consideration.|||Source. 1963, 277:1. 1979, 459:4, eff.

A pupil exempted under this section may complete the academic year in the school to which the pupil is assigned. The provisions of this section shall apply only to area agreements negotiated on or after the effective date of this act unless the agreement indicates otherwise.|||Source. 1973, 78:1. 1992, 134:2, eff.

Also in determining the debt limit of the receiving district this same proportion of its estimated enrollment in the area school shall apply to any indebtedness outstanding of the receiving district that existed at the time of the date of operating responsibility of the authorized regional enrollment area, when such indebtedness was incurred for facilities which are included in the area school plan. The total amount of such bond or serial note issue shall be general obligations of the receiving district, fully secured by its powers of taxation. Upon application of the school board of the receiving district, that amount of such bond or serial note issue, which is in excess of the proportionate share of the receiving district as determined by the state board, shall be eligible for state guarantee, either on a declining balance basis or as a separate issue fully guaranteed, as the governor and council may decide, in accordance with RSA 195-C. The school board of the receiving district, without vote of the district, shall apply all tuition payments received from sending districts in each year first to the payment of the currently scheduled, or any past due, annual installments of principal or interest on that amount of such bond or serial note issue which is guaranteed by the state; and only after adequate provision has been made therefor may any portion of such revenue be used for other purposes.|||Source. 1963, 277:1. 1965, 112:5. 1969, 347:1. 1971, 83:1, eff.
