	This legislation adds to the type of issues that a municipality is required to address through an initiated petition process to amend its municipal charter.  Although the procedure to amend a municipal charter is established in 30-A MRSA c. 111, requiring a municipality to utilize the process for issues related to changes in school board policies other than staffing, salary, and other personnel matters or any budgetary matters is an expanded activity for the municipality and is a state mandate.
