Bill > H532

This bill modifies the University of North Carolina Laboratory Schools program. The key provisions are: - The Board of Governors is required to designate at least nine constituent institutions to submit proposals to establish laboratory schools to serve public school students, with the Subcommittee on Laboratory Schools reviewing and approving the proposals. - The mission of the laboratory schools is to improve student performance in low-performing local school administrative units and provide training for teachers and principals to address challenges in high-needs school settings. - The Subcommittee on Laboratory Schools is established to oversee the establishment and operation of the laboratory schools, with chancellors of the constituent institutions operating the approved laboratory schools. - The bill outlines the admissions process for the laboratory schools, prioritizing students enrolled in low-performing schools or who did not meet expected student growth in the prior year. - The bill specifies the governance, funding, and staffing requirements for the laboratory schools, providing them with certain exemptions from laws applicable to local school administrative units.
