Bill > S1236

This bill makes the following key changes: 1. It deletes a provision that required a reduction in school district funding if they failed to meet certain class size requirements, and instead requires districts that have not met the class size requirements to submit a plan to the Commissioner of Education describing how they will fully comply by the following school year. 2. It requires dependent children of active duty military personnel to be enrolled in special academic programs, such as magnet schools, advanced studies, and dual enrollment, if those programs are offered, even if it is at a school other than the one the student would normally attend. 3. It allows students whose parents are transferred to a military installation within the state during the school year to enroll in any school within the state, even outside the normal controlled open enrollment window. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and support for military families with school-aged children as they transition to new locations within the state.
