SB 5625: Academc achievemtn commissn

Creating the K-12 academic achievement and accountability act. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Enhancing academic achievement and accountability.)

Summary

  • $ The A+ Commission may adopt goals to improve dropout rates and accelerate the achievement of students who are disproportionately underachieving academically.
  • $ The A+ Commission will identify for state assistance schools and school districts in which a large percentage of students persistently fail to meet state standards. If a school in state assistance does not improve after one complete school year, Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) may intervene. If a school is unsuccessful for three years, SPI will intervene.
  • $ When a school or school district is under state assistance or SPI intervention, the district or SPI, as applicable, will have a number of tools to improve student learning, including monetary incentives for employees, the revision of personnel assignments, the transfer of employees, and the restructuring of the school calendar and instructional and programmatic approaches.
  • $ Before a school or district is released from state assistance or SPI intervention, it must meet student achievement and improvement thresholds adopted by the A+ Commission for two years.
