• Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D) on June 25, 2009, to authorize the appointment of an “emergency financial manager” (EFM) to a school district that has low educational performance. An EFM is usually appointed when a school district or local government gets into trouble financially, and has the power to control the budget, change the way departments operate, renegotiate (but not set aside) union contracts, auction off certain assets, contract out for professional assistance, and more.
  • Referred to the House Education Committee on June 25, 2009.
