Summary

Aligns the state review process of underperforming schools and school divisions with the new Standards for Accreditation adopted by the Board of Education (Board). The bill requires the Board to establish a review process to assist schools not meeting the standards established by the Board. The Board shall establish a corrective action plan process for any such school within its division, including a requirement that each school board submit a corrective action plan for any school in the local school division that does not meet the established standards. The bill requires a school board of a school division that does not demonstrate progress in developing or implementing such corrective action plan to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Board. The bill also requires the school board of an underperforming school division to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Board prior to developing a corrective action plan.

Plain-language change summary

The main change in Bill HB 2147 is the removal of a provision that allowed for the accreditation review of schools to occur once every three years, in addition to the possibility of a review every two years. Now, schools may only be reviewed every two years or annually if they are not fully accredited. This change aims to strengthen the oversight of school accreditation and ensure schools are meeting the established standards more frequently, which could lead to better educational outcomes for students.
