SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Standards of Quality. Changes the requirements for minimum staffing levels of assistant principals. The Board’s regulations on accrediting schools must include, in the minimum staffing requirements, employment of assistant principals in elementary schools, one half-time to 300 students, one full-time at 450 students; assistant principals in middle schools, one half-time to 300 students, one full-time at 450 students; assistant principals in high schools, one half-time to 300 students; one full-time at 450 students. Present regulatory requirements are: one half-time assistant principal for every elementary school with an average daily membership of 600 students, one full-time at 900 students; one full-time for each 600 students in middle schools; and one full-time for each 600 students in secondary schools. Many school divisions consider these requirements too low. This bill amends Standard 3 of the Standards of Quality.
