SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Enforcement of school corrective action plans. Modifies the current school corrective action plan process within the Standards of Quality (SOQ) to (i) authorize the Board of Education to require an academic review, consistent with criteria to be established by the Board, of any school division upon obtaining evidence through the school academic review process that school failure is related to division level failures to implement the SOQ; (ii) require the reviewed school division to submit for approval by the Board a corrective action plan setting forth specific actions and a schedule designed to ensure that schools within its school division achieve full accreditation status; (iii) add such corrective action plans to relevant school division's six-year improvement plan; (iv) allow the Board to pursue circuit court enforcement of the development or implementation of such plans by noncompliant school divisions; and (v) delete the current mandamus process.

The Administrative Process Act is amended to provide an exemption for the determination of accreditation or academic review status of a public school or public school division or Board approval of a school division corrective action plan.

Finally, a second enactment clause directs the Board to promulgate regulations to implement the act to be effective within 280 days of its enactment.
