AN ACT REQUIRING STUDENT SURVEYS DURING EVALUATION OF A PRIVATE CAREER SCHOOL TO RENEW A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION.
This bill requires private career schools to include student surveys when applying to renew their operating licenses. Starting in January 2025, an evaluation team must ask students to rate the quality of the courses they took and how well the school prepared them for the job or license they advertised. The survey results will become a mandatory part of the state's review process for these schools, aiming to gather direct feedback from students on their educational experience.
