SB 5329: Persistently failing schools

Assisting persistently lowest-achieving schools to become more accountable. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Transforming persistently failing schools. )

Summary

  • Updates the criteria used by the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) to identify persistently lowest-achieving schools to conform to revised federal rules and guidance, to be applied equally to both Title I and non-Title I schools.
  • Permits state as well as federal funds to be used for school improvement in a Required Action District (RAD).
  • Replaces a requirement that a RAD use one of four federal intervention models with a requirement for use of a school improvement model approved by the SPI.
  • Authorizes the State Board of Education to designate a RAD that has implemented a required action plan for at least three years and has not made adequate progress to a new Level II RAD process.
  • Directs that the SPI work with the school board to develop a Level II Plan that includes specified interventions and conditions binding on the district.
  • Provides a process and authority for the SPI to direct actions if the school board does not agree to a Level II Plan, or if the Level II Plan is not implemented as specified.
