Bill > S1684

This bill revises the duties of the State Board of Education and the intervention and support strategies for traditional public schools that are identified as persistently low-performing. It requires the intervention and support strategies to include extended learning hours of at least one extra hour. The bill also modifies the turnaround options available for schools that have completed two years of implementing a district-managed turnaround plan but have not improved their school grade to a "C" or higher. These options include reassigning students, closing the school and reopening it as one or more charter schools, contracting with an outside entity or hope operator, or entering into a formal agreement with a highly effective principal or a state university or independent college.
