(a) The full State intervention plan shall incorporate and amend the district improvement plan and will be presented by the Commissioner as part of the proposed administrative order at the time the Department brings an Order to Show Cause seeking full State intervention in a school district. The intervention plan shall address, but need not be limited to, the following:

1. Whether the State Board, upon the Commissioner's recommendation, will appoint a State district superintendent.

i. If a State district superintendent is appointed, the intervention plan shall indicate the person shall be appointed for an initial term not to exceed three years and the costs of his or her salary shall be an expense of the school district; and

ii. If the State Board chooses to appoint the existing district superintendent, the intervention plan shall indicate he or she shall agree to termination of his or her existing employment contract with the school district; and

2. Whether highly skilled professionals will be appointed pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:7A-15.c to provide direct oversight in the school district.

i. If so, the intervention plan will state the areas of school district operations the highly skilled professionals will oversee and their powers, authority, and duties;

ii. The intervention plan also shall establish a decision-making hierarchy if conflicts arise between highly skilled professionals and school district personnel; and

iii. The plan shall state that the costs of the highly skilled professional(s) will be divided equally between the State and the school district;

3. Whether the positions of the school district's CSA and the executive administrators responsible for curriculum, business and finance, and personnel will be abolished. If any of the positions are abolished, the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:7A-44.a with respect to notice, salary, tenure rights, etc., shall apply;

4. Whether a Capital Project Control Board shall be established in the school district, with the functions and powers set forth in N.J.S.A. 18A:7A-46.1 et seq. If the plan does not require establishment of a Capital Project Control Board, then the plan will set forth a procedure for development and approval of capital projects in the school district; and

5. Whether the Commissioner intends to exercise his or her authority to appoint, with the State Board's approval, up to three additional members to the district board of education.
