It all began in June 2000. The school districts of Newton Public, Andover Regional, and Green Township, New Jersey contracted Guidelines, Inc., Huntington, Long Island, New York to conduct a Grades K-12 Regionallshared Services Feasibility Study. The study was funed via a New Jersey state grant from the Regional Efficiency Development Incentive Program (REDI) Grant Program. The study's executive summary included the objective: \"To provide information to aid school board members, school officials, and other interested parties in determining whether a K- 12 regional pattern appears feasible and desirable and the extent to which a K- 12 Regionalization Regional Study should be further considered\" (Savitt, 2000, p. 1). The purpose for this researcher's study was to examine selected organizational constructs that may influence a Tri-District model for shared services as projected for future needs. This study resulted in bona fide research to inform local and school district decision-makers and to provide data for aspiring administrators. This examination was presented as a nonexperimental, retrospective, descriptive case study. Using this design and method, this researcher was able to propose selected organizational constructs that may influence a Tri-District model for shared services, The findings support the use of these constructs by linking them with specific shared-service areas as a means to achieve a beneficial outcome. One of the key findings of this examination included a discussion about people and relationships. These features with this examination's purpose provided the necessary information for a Tri-District shared-services model that can be realistic, meaningful, and relevant.
