The Suffolk County Commission to Evaluate School District Expenses and Efficiency was established by the Suffolk County Legislature for the purposes of analyzing school district spending, studying cost cutting ideas, and offering recommendations that will increase school district efficiency and reduce school district spending, without combining school districts, increasing class size, or compromising the quality of education delivered within local school districts.  The Commission, formed by Resolution Number 522 of 2006, was sponsored by Legislator Lou D’Amaro and co-sponsored by Legislators Jon Cooper, Ricardo Montano, Kate Browning, Steven Stern, Jack Eddington, Elie Mystal, Vivian Viloria-Fisher, Wayne Horsley, Jay Schneiderman, and Presiding Officer William Lindsay. The resolution forming the Commission passed with bi-partisan support and was signed into law by County Executive Steve Levy.
