Bill Summary

Specifying that the calculation for compliance with maximum class size requirements for a specified district innovation school of choice is at the school level; requiring the State Board of Education to review at a specified interval the performance metrics of each individual innovation school of choice for compliance with certain requirements, etc.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Florida statutes to allow for "district innovation schools of choice" and charter schools to calculate compliance with maximum class size requirements at the school level, rather than a program level, provided certain conditions are met. Specifically, it requires that these schools clearly define their innovation strategies, establish specific performance metrics, and undergo a review of these metrics every three years to maintain this calculation method. The bill also renames "district innovation school of technology" programs to "district innovation schools of choice" and expands their scope beyond just technology to encompass broader innovation, while still allowing for flexibility from certain statutes and rules in exchange for high student achievement and accountability.
