Act 46 identifies the following goals as central to any decision aimed at consolidating existing school governance structures:
•To provide substantive equity in the quality and variety of educational opportunities statewide.
•To lead students to achieve or exceed the State’s Educational Quality Standards.
•To maximize operational efficiencies through increased flexibility to manage, share, and transfer resources, with the goal of increasing the district-level ratio of students to full-time equivalent staff
•To promote transparency and accountability.
•To achieve these goals at a cost that parents, voters, and taxpayers value.
