AI Summary
This bill establishes complaint procedures to address noncompliance with certain state education laws. The bill defines key terms like "broad complaint," "limited complaint," "negligent," and "willful" noncompliance with state laws related to civil rights, harassment, curriculum requirements, use of restraint/isolation, and student discipline. The bill requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to investigate complaints and work with school districts to develop compliance action plans. If willful noncompliance is found, the bill allows for consequences like withholding state funding, finding unprofessional conduct by the superintendent, and potentially recalling school board members. The bill also amends an existing law to require school board members to take an oath to support state laws.
