subsections 1 and 3. Whole grade sharing may either be one-way or
two-way sharing.

sends pupils to one or more other school districts for instruction
and does not receive a substantial number of pupils from those
districts in return.

sends pupils to one or more other school districts for instruction
and receives a substantial number of pupils from those school
districts in return.

of the districts involved in the agreement not later than February 1
of the school year preceding the school year for which the agreement
is to take effect. The boards of the districts shall negotiate as
