Bill > H236

This bill amends existing law to allow the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education to designate certain underperforming or chronically underperforming public schools, excluding Horace Mann charter schools, based on student performance data and school reviews. Before a school is designated as chronically underperforming, it must have been designated as underperforming and failed to improve. The bill requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish regulations for these designations, which must consider multiple indicators of school quality. Once a school is designated as underperforming or chronically underperforming, the bill mandates that the state provide funding for various support services, such as early childhood education, academic enrichment, and job training, to be overseen by a local stakeholder group.
