Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a transfer student appeal process
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new process for students transferring to a new school district, allowing them to appeal decisions about how their previously earned credits are recognized. Specifically, if a student's transfer credits from out-of-state schools, schools in other countries, or private schools are not fully accepted by their new school district, they can request a second opinion through this state-level appeal process. This appeal can only be initiated after the student has gone through the initial transfer credit evaluation at the new school district, and the decisions made through this appeal process will be final. The Commissioner of Education will be responsible for creating the rules and regulations needed to implement this new appeal system.
