Bill > HB1960

This bill, effective July 1, 2027, shifts the responsibility for selecting intervention options for "priority schools" that are assigned to "tier three" of the "progressive tiered intervention system" from the Department of Education to the State Board of Education, though the Department will still make a recommendation. A "priority school" is a school identified as needing significant improvement, and the "progressive tiered intervention system" is a framework for providing support and interventions to struggling schools, with "tier three" representing the most intensive level of intervention. The State Board will then officially select the intervention and notify the school, which will be required to implement the chosen plan.
