AI Summary
This bill modifies the process for school districts to become authorized as "public innovative districts," which are schools granted more flexibility from state regulations. Specifically, it extends the deadline for submitting applications to operate as a public innovative district from December 1st to May 1st of the preceding school year. Additionally, it introduces a new provision that automatically approves an application if the state board or coalition board, depending on the stage of the process, does not approve or deny it within 30 days of submission. This aims to streamline the application process and provide clearer timelines for school districts seeking this innovative status.
