AI Summary

This bill amends the school turnaround process in Massachusetts. It allows the superintendent to request renegotiation of certain resolutions in the turnaround plan with the bargaining unit, subject to approval by the Commissioner. It also specifies that renewing a turnaround plan does not require renegotiating decisions with the bargaining unit, and extends the transitional period after a school's designation as underperforming or chronically underperforming is terminated to a minimum of 5 years, during which any prior collective bargaining decisions remain in effect.
