Introduced
by
To replace an existing state “education achievement authority” in the Department of Education, which is tasked with managing, overseeing or contracting-out the operations of public schools deemed to have failed academically, with a new system of academic performance audits and “technical support.” State takeovers of failed schools would no longer be authorized, but a proposed “reform office” could impose an “implementation plan” if, following appeals of dismal audit findings, a failed school’s “stakeholders” did not agree on a program to address those findings. Failed schools whose management has already been taken over by the state would be returned to their previous governing body’s control.
