Requires the state board of education to provide for a transition to a special administrative board for certain unaccredited school districts
HB 387 requires the state Board of Education to address unaccredited school districts by either allowing the existing school board to continue under specific conditions or appointing a special administrative board. This special board, composed of seven members (including four district residents with specific expertise in education and finance, plus appointed professionals), takes over district operations until the district achieves provisional accreditation for two consecutive years. The board meets monthly, receives $500 per member monthly, and must develop a plan to return the district to accreditation, including annual progress reports to the legislature. The bill directly affects school districts classified as unaccredited, shifting governance to the appointed board until accreditation goals are met.
