Bill Summary

This bill eliminates the authority of the State Board of Education to place a school district under full or partial State intervention under the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJ QSAC), the State's system of monitoring school districts. The bill also provides that any school district that is under partial or full State intervention on its effective date will be returned to full local control within one year of that date. Within four months of the bill's effective date, the board of education of a district that has not had the governance component of school district effectiveness returned to local control prior to that date will call a special election to place the question of district classification as either a Type I or Type II district before the voters. The district will then be governed by the provisions of law concerning Type I or Type II districts as applicable.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates the State Board of Education's authority to place school districts under full or partial State intervention, a process used to monitor and improve school performance under the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJ QSAC). For any district currently under such intervention, this bill mandates a return to full local control within one year of its effective date. Furthermore, within four months of the bill's enactment, districts that haven't had their governance returned to local control will hold a special election for voters to decide whether the district should be classified as a Type I or Type II district, which will then determine how the district is governed according to existing state laws. The bill also repeals numerous sections of previous laws related to State intervention and accountability.
