group has 45 days to make a recommendations,which goes to the superintendent, who within 30 days have to send a plan to the commissioner, school committee, the union
superintendent must provide "due consideration" to recommendations of stakeholder group
(if there are contract modifications, and the union does not agree, it goes to expedited arbitration, so this could go as long as 79 days)
if the school committee or union objects to part of the plan, they may appeal to the commissioner, who within 30 days may modify the plan
30 days for superintendent to issue final turnaround plan
authorize the plan
superintendent is ultimately responsible for meeting goals of plan

NOTE that there are more days here than there are in the summer, so some aspects of plan may well not be implemented until partway through the school year or even next year
for parts of year 2 or 3, it may be wise to limit the things that are bargained for this year, and arbitrate parts of plan for later (as plans may change)
