Provisional release from educational intervention

SB 215 modifies the process for local boards of education that are under state educational intervention. It grants the State Superintendent of Education the authority to summon witnesses and subpoena records during an intervention. The bill also allows the State Superintendent to reinstate educational intervention for a local board within five years if the specific conditions of its previous release were not satisfied. This changes existing law, which allowed for unconditional release from intervention and required new procedures to return a board to intervention.
