Bill Summary
Requiring the Department of Education to suspend specified payments to private schools that fail, rather than knowingly fail, to meet certain scholarship program accountability standards; providing that the failure of, rather than the inability of, private schools to meet such standards constitutes the basis for ineligibility for participation in a scholarship program, etc.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statutes to change the requirements for private schools participating in state school choice scholarship programs. It requires private schools to disqualify instructional personnel and administrators who are ineligible for employment, adopt policies on ethical conduct and reporting misconduct, and conduct employment history checks before hiring. The bill also changes the basis for ineligibility of a private school from "inability" to "failure" to meet the requirements, and allows the Department of Education to suspend payments and prohibit new enrollments for schools that fail to comply.
