method of representation or of distribution of voting power that is consistent with federal
constitutional standards, provided, in the case of any such method which determines
the number of members on the regional school board from each participating town, or

of such town bears to the population of the entire regional school district or to the
population of any other town in such district, the population of any such town shall not
include the patients of any state institution located in such town.
(b) The regional school reapportionment committee shall submit its recommended
plan of representation in writing to the State Board of Education within three months
