Requires the state board of education to provide for a transition to a special administrative board for certain unaccredited school districts
This bill requires the state board of education to establish a special administrative board to manage certain school districts that are classified as unaccredited. When a district loses its accreditation, the state must hold public hearings to gather community resources and decide whether to keep the current elected school board in charge or replace it with a new governing body. If the elected board is replaced, the special administrative board will consist of seven appointed members, including educators, parents, and financial experts, who will oversee district operations until the district regains accreditation or is merged with another district. The bill also mandates that this new board submit annual reports to the governor and legislature on the district's progress toward meeting academic standards.
