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 Missouri State Board of Education to take action when a school district fails to meet minimum school term requirements or is classified as unaccredited. Under the new rules, the state board must either allow the existing school board to continue governing under specific conditions or appoint a special administrative board to run the district. The special administrative board would consist of at least five members with expertise in school management, where elected school board members can hold no more than 49% of the seats. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state conduct public hearings in unaccredited districts to gather community resources and support plans for returning to accredited status. These measures remain in place until the district achieves provisional accreditation for two consecutive years, at which point a transition process begins.
