AI Summary
This bill dissolves academic distress commissions and instead requires improvement plans for certain low-performing school buildings. The key provisions are:
- Dissolves existing academic distress commissions and requires school districts to reassume all powers previously granted to the commissions.
- Requires the state superintendent to designate certain low-performing school buildings as "in need of improvement" and directs the school district to establish an improvement team to develop a school improvement plan for the building. The plan must include measurable benchmarks for improvement in areas like parent engagement, student culture and support, attendance, discipline, promotion and graduation rates.
- Outlines a multi-year process for implementing and monitoring the improvement plan, with potential intervention from the state if the building continues to underperform.
- Repeals the sections of law that previously established academic distress commissions.
- Makes conforming changes to other laws related to community learning centers, the Educational Choice Scholarship program, and municipal school districts to reflect the dissolution of academic distress commissions.
