AI Summary
This bill dissolves Academic Distress Commissions (ADCs) in Ohio school districts and replaces them with a new Student Support Team system for low-performing schools. Starting with the 2026-2027 school year, school districts where ADCs were previously established must create Student Support Teams for any school building that received less than two stars on the state report card for the previous two school years. The teams will be comprised of various stakeholders including school board members, administrators, teachers, parents, and a state support team representative. These teams will conduct surveys of student support needs, develop recommendations for improving student learning, and submit their plans to the school district board for approval. The bill also includes provisions allowing township police departments to provide school resource officer services to chartered nonpublic schools and makes several technical amendments to existing education-related statutes. The legislation aims to provide more localized and collaborative support for struggling schools, replacing the previous top-down approach of Academic Distress Commissions with a more inclusive, community-driven model of school improvement.
