Bill > SB311

This bill makes several changes to laws governing public and chartered nonpublic schools, including provisions that prevent county, township, and municipal zoning authorities from prohibiting or restricting the location of public or nonpublic schools, and it clarifies rules around school board vacancies, school property disposal, and the use of unused school facilities by various educational entities. It also introduces new regulations for internet- or computer-based community schools regarding remote state assessments, including requirements for proctoring, student/parent consultation, and reporting on assessment results, and establishes new penalties for academic dishonesty by students. Additionally, the bill updates requirements for school bus driver background checks and addresses various administrative and procedural aspects of school operations and educator licensing, such as allowing for one-year out-of-state educator licenses under certain conditions and clarifying the grounds for license suspension or revocation.
