Sec. 1280c. (1) Beginning after the 2010-2011 school year, if
the department determines that a public school has been
unaccredited for 4 consecutive years or has failed to achieve the
federal pupil performance standard for all pupils for academic
performance for 4 or more consecutive years and that the percentage
of all pupils enrolled in the public school who scored at least
"proficient" on the most recent Michigan education assessment
program assessments or Michigan merit examination, as applicable,
for which results are available was less than the designated
percentage, as defined in subsection (16), in both mathematics and

instruction shall issue an order designating the public school as a
turnaround school and shall take measures under subsection (3) with
respect to the public school and its school district, as
applicable. The superintendent of public instruction shall issue
the order designating a public school as a turnaround school within
15 days after he or she determines that the public school meets the
criteria under this subsection.
(2) Within 15 days after issuing an order under subsection
(1), the superintendent of public instruction shall appoint a
review team to conduct an evaluation of the turnaround school. All
of the following apply to this review team:
(a) The review team shall consist of at least a teacher who is
not employed at the turnaround school, a support staff member who
is not employed at the turnaround school, a parent who does not
have a child enrolled in the turnaround school, a school
administrator who is not employed at the turnaround school, a
school board member, a member of the local community, and another
designee of the superintendent of public instruction. A member of
the review team serves at the pleasure of the superintendent of
public instruction and may be removed and replaced by the
superintendent of public instruction.
(b) The review team's evaluation shall focus on issues at both
the school district level and school building level and shall
cover, at a minimum, pupil performance on state assessments,
standards and expectations, curriculum, instruction, time on task,
learning environment, prevalence of transient pupils, parental
involvement, community involvement, staff development, planning and
assessment, and governance and leadership.
(c) Within 30 days after being appointed, the review team
shall submit a report to the superintendent of public instruction
based on its evaluation that identifies the reasons for the
turnaround school's failures and contains recommendations on the
measures that the superintendent of public instruction and the
chief educational officer appointed under subsection (3) should
take under this section with regard to the turnaround school. In
its evaluation report, the review team shall identify whether the
reasons for the failures exist at the school building level and
require new leadership for the school itself or exist at the school
district level and require new leadership for the school district
that operates the school.
(d) The review team shall reevaluate the turnaround school at
least annually to monitor the progress being made in implementing
the recommendations contained in the review team's evaluation
report.
(e) The board of a school district or board of directors of a
public school academy shall cooperate fully with a review team
appointed under this subsection.
(3) If the superintendent of public instruction issues an
order designating a school as a turnaround school under subsection
(1), then all of the following apply:
(a) If the turnaround school is a public school academy, the
superintendent of public instruction immediately shall notify the
public school academy's authorizing body that the school has been
designated as a turnaround school. The public school academy's
authorizing body may revoke the public school academy's contract,
and the public school academy may be closed.
(b) Except for a public school academy that is closed under
subdivision (a), within 60 days after receiving the evaluation
report from the review team under subsection (2), the
superintendent of public instruction shall issue an order
appointing a chief educational officer for the turnaround school.
However, if the turnaround school is operated by a school district
and the evaluation report from the review team under subsection (2)
has recommended new leadership at the school district level, the
superintendent of public instruction may instead issue an order
appointing a chief educational officer for that entire school
district, except that the superintendent of public instruction
shall not issue an order appointing a chief educational officer for
an entire school district if the only turnaround school operated by
that school district is an alterative education program, as
determined by the superintendent of public instruction. The chief
educational officer shall take control of either the turnaround
school or the school district, as determined by the superintendent
of public instruction, and operate it as provided under this
section.
(4) If the superintendent of public instruction appoints a
chief educational officer for a turnaround school or for a school
district under subsection (3), all of the following apply:
(a) The chief educational officer shall carry out the
functions under this section and as otherwise prescribed by law.
All of the following apply to the appointment:
(i) The chief educational officer shall be chosen solely on the
basis of his or her competence and experience either in educational
reform and redesign and improving pupil achievement or in business
and fiscal matters. If the chief educational officer is chosen
based on his or her experience and competence in business and
fiscal matters, the chief educational officer, with the approval of
the superintendent of public instruction, shall hire an expert in
educational reform and redesign with a proven record of improving
pupil achievement to assist the chief educational officer in
operating the turnaround school or the school district.
(ii) The chief educational officer or an assistant described in
subparagraph (i) shall not have been either an elected or appointed
official or employee of the school district for which he or she is
appointed for not less than 5 years before the appointment.
(iii) The superintendent of public instruction shall not serve
as a chief educational officer under this section.
(iv) The chief educational officer need not be a resident of
the school district for which he or she is appointed.
(v) The superintendent of public instruction shall enter into
a contract with the chief educational officer appointing the chief
educational officer for a term of at least 1 but not more than 3
years, as determined by the superintendent of public instruction.
Subject to subdivision (m), the superintendent of public
instruction may renew the appointment for 1 or more subsequent
terms of not more than 3 years, as determined by the superintendent
of public instruction.
(b) With respect to that turnaround school or the school
district, the chief educational officer has all of the powers and
duties described in this section. All provisions of this act that
would otherwise apply to the school board or board of directors
that previously operated the turnaround school or the school
district apply to the chief educational officer with respect to
that school or school district, except those relating to taxation
or borrowing. Subject to this section, the chief educational
officer may exercise all the powers and duties otherwise vested by
law in the school board or board of directors that previously
operated the turnaround school or the school district and in its
officers, except those relating to taxation or borrowing, and may
exercise all additional powers and duties provided under this
section. Subject to this section, the chief educational officer
accedes to all the rights, duties, and obligations of the school
board or board of directors with respect to the turnaround school
or the school district. Other than taxation and borrowing, the
school board's or board of directors' role with respect to the
turnaround school or the school district is limited to acting as an
advisory board to the chief educational officer. The chief
educational officer's powers, rights, duties, and obligations
include, but are not limited to, all of the following:
(i) Authority over the expenditure of funds as follows:
(A) If the chief educational officer is operating just the
turnaround school, authority over expenditure of all funds
attributable to pupils at the turnaround school, including that
portion of proceeds from bonded indebtedness and other funds
dedicated to capital projects that would otherwise be apportioned
to that school by the school board or board of directors that
previously operated the school according to the terms of the bond
issue or financing documents. The school board or board of
directors shall ensure that all funds attributable to pupils who
are enrolled at that school are made available to the chief
educational officer to be expended for operating the turnaround
school.
(B) If the chief educational officer is operating the entire
school district, authority over expenditure of all funds of the
school district, including proceeds from bonded indebtedness and
other funds dedicated to capital projects.
(ii) Subject to this section, rights and obligations under
collective bargaining agreements and employment contracts entered
into by the school board or board of directors for employees at the
turnaround school or for employees of the school district, as
applicable.
(iii) Rights to prosecute and defend litigation.
(iv) Rights and obligations under statute, rule, and common
law.
(v) Subject to subsection (7), authority to delegate any of
the chief educational officer's powers and duties to 1 or more
designees, with proper supervision by the chief educational
officer.
(vi) Power to terminate any contract or portion of a contract
entered into by the school board or board of directors that applies
to the turnaround school or to the school district, as applicable.
However, this subparagraph does not allow any termination or
diminishment of obligations to pay debt service on legally
authorized bonds and does not allow a collective bargaining
agreement to be affected except as provided under this section. A
contract terminated by the chief educational officer under this
subparagraph is void.
(c) The chief educational officer shall take control of the
continued day-to-day operation of the turnaround school or the
school district, as applicable. The chief educational officer may
modify school district or public school academy policies and
renegotiate applicable collective bargaining agreements to provide
for any measures that the chief educational officer determines to
be necessary to achieve the educational goals established by the
chief educational officer. If the chief educational officer
requests renegotiation on 1 or more collective bargaining
provisions and the parties are unable to reach agreement on 1 or
more of those provisions within 60 days, the chief educational
officer may declare an impasse on each provision for which
agreement was not reached and implement his or her last best offer
for each of those provisions. The policies that may be modified or
collective bargaining agreement provisions that may be renegotiated
under this subsection include, but are not limited to, all of the
following:
(i) That any contractual or other seniority system that would
otherwise be applicable shall not apply at the turnaround school or
in the school district, as applicable. This subparagraph does not
allow unilateral changes in pay scales or benefits.
(ii) That any contractual or other work rules the chief
educational officer determines to be impediments to achieving
satisfactory pupil performance shall not apply at the turnaround
school or in the school district, as applicable. This subparagraph
does not allow unilateral changes in pay scales or benefits.
(iii) That the chief educational officer shall direct the
expenditure of all funds attributable to pupils at the turnaround
school or all funds of the school district, as applicable, and the
chief educational officer shall have full autonomy and control over
curriculum and discretionary spending at the turnaround school or
for the school district, as applicable.
(d) If the chief educational officer is operating just the
turnaround school, then, for the purposes of collective bargaining
under 1947 PA 336, MCL 423.201 to 423.217, the chief educational
officer is a joint employer of the employees at the turnaround
school along with the board of the school district, or board of
directors of the public school academy, that previously operated
the turnaround school.
(e) Except as otherwise provided by law, an individual may be
employed to teach at the turnaround school or in the school
district only if he or she holds a valid Michigan teaching
certificate.
(f) The chief educational officer shall report all of the
following to the superintendent of public instruction:
(i) The educational goals the turnaround school or the school
district is to achieve and the methods by which it will be held
accountable. To the extent applicable, the pupil performance of a
turnaround school or school district shall be assessed using at
least a Michigan education assessment program (MEAP) test or the
Michigan merit examination, as applicable. At a minimum, the
educational goals shall include that at least 80% of the school's
or school district's pupils graduate from high school or are
determined by the department to be on track to graduate from high
school, the school or school district has at least 80% average

score of at least 18 on the college entrance examination component
of the Michigan merit examination.
(ii) A description of the method to be used to monitor the
turnaround school's or school district's compliance with applicable
law and its performance in meeting its targeted educational

from a job assignment at the turnaround school in accordance with
any applicable collective bargaining agreement that applies to that
school, after any modification of the collective bargaining
agreement under this section, and direct that he or she be assigned
elsewhere. However, this subparagraph applies only to assignment at
that school and does not allow a staff member to be terminated from
his or her employment with the school district or public school
academy that previously operated the school.
(ii) The chief educational officer or other school leader
designated by the chief educational officer may hire and assign
employees to work at the turnaround school.
(h) For a school district being operated by a chief
educational officer under this section, the following powers

for the turnaround school or the school district, as applicable, a
parent involvement plan designed to encourage parental
participation. This parent involvement plan may be, but is not
required to be, based on the parent involvement plan previously
implemented in the school district or public school academy under
section 1294. The chief educational officer shall provide a copy of
the parent involvement plan to the parent or legal guardian of each
pupil enrolled in the school or school district, as applicable, and

their input. The chief educational officer may also include on the
advisory council 1 or more pupils; representatives of local
community organizations that offer health, social, or educational
services; or representatives of local workforce development boards
or postsecondary institutions that serve the local community.

of being operated by a particular chief educational officer, the
superintendent of public instruction shall appoint a new chief
educational officer for the school or school district as provided

school as a turnaround school have been met after receiving a
recommendation from the chief educational officer. The chief
educational officer may condition his or her recommendation to the
superintendent of public instruction upon the school board's
adoption of a resolution that will ensure that the goals and
methods of the chief educational officer, as reported to the
superintendent of public instruction under subsection (4)(f), will
be continued at the school or in the school district, as
applicable.
(6) The superintendent of public instruction shall do 1 of the
following:
(a) Create a high-performing school review team that evaluates
public school academies in this state and similar public schools in
other states to identify persons or entities that operate high-
performing public schools. The high-performing school review team
shall consist of at least teachers, school administrators, and
other educational experts. In identifying high-performing public
schools, the high-performing school review team shall take into
account the past academic performance of pupils at the school, past
grade offerings at the school, and the demographics of pupils at
the school.
(b) Contract with an entity to perform the functions under
subdivision (a).
(7) Subject to section 1280d, a chief educational officer may
contract with an educational management entity for the management
of the turnaround school or the school district that the chief

educational officer. The superintendent of public instruction shall
use the evaluations of the high-performing school review team or
the contracting entity under subsection (6) to solicit proposals
from educational management entities to manage turnaround schools
or school districts. The superintendent of public instruction shall
share these proposals with the chief educational officers appointed
by the superintendent of public instruction under this section.
(8) Unless the legislature provides special funding, a chief
educational officer appointed under this section shall receive
compensation as established by the superintendent of public
instruction, and reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses,

chief educational officer was chosen based on his or her experience
and competence in business and fiscal matters, the chief
educational officer, with the approval of the superintendent of
public instruction, shall hire an expert in educational reform and
redesign with a proven record of improving pupil achievement to
assist the chief educational officer in operating the turnaround
school or the school district.

under subsection (1). If a public school is included on the list,
the department shall notify the school board or board of directors
that operates the public school and the collective bargaining
representatives of all collective bargaining units with members who
work at the school or who are employed by that school board or
board of directors. The school board or board of directors shall
notify employees and parent organizations of the school district
that the school has been placed on this watch list and shall
publish a notice to this effect on its website. The department
shall include a public school on this watch list if the department
determines that a public school has failed to achieve the federal

public schools if the department determines that there are other
reasons why they are in danger of meeting the criteria under
subsection (1).
(10) For the purposes of this section, the superintendent of
public instruction is encouraged to consider taking measures to
increase the number of qualified school counselors serving a
turnaround school or a school district, as applicable, to ensure
that there is at least 1 qualified school counselor for every 250
pupils. If federal funds become available to support the placement
of additional qualified school counselors for a turnaround school
or a school district, the department shall notify the chief
educational officer operating the turnaround school or the school
district about these funds and shall take steps as necessary to
facilitate the procurement of these funds for the turnaround school
or the school district.
(11) If the superintendent of public instruction determines
that the resources available to the department are insufficient to
address all of the public schools in this state that meet the
criteria under subsection (1), the superintendent of public
instruction shall prioritize his or her efforts by addressing the
30 lowest-performing public schools during the 2011-2012 school
year and 30 additional public schools each subsequent school year
until all of the public schools that comprise the lowest-performing
5% of all public schools in this state have been addressed.
(12) If the superintendent of public instruction does not
issue an order appointing a chief educational officer for a public
school that he or she has determined to meet the criteria under
subsection (1), or for its school district, because of insufficient
resources as described in subsection (11), the school board that
operates the public school may apply to the superintendent of
public instruction for an order granting permission for the school
board to modify school district or school policies and renegotiate
applicable collective bargaining agreements to provide for any
measures that it determines to be necessary to achieve the
necessary improvement at the school. Upon issuance of this order by
the superintendent of public instruction, the school board may
modify school district or school policies and renegotiate
applicable collective bargaining agreements as provided in the
order. If the school board requests renegotiation on 1 or more
collective bargaining provisions and the parties are unable to
reach agreement on 1 or more of those provisions within 60 days,
the school board may declare an impasse on each provision for which
agreement was not reached and implement its last best offer for
each of those provisions. The policies that may be modified or
collective bargaining agreement provisions that may be renegotiated
under this subsection include, but are not limited to, all of the
following:
(a) That any contractual or other seniority system that would
otherwise be applicable shall not apply at the school. This
subparagraph does not allow unilateral changes in pay scales or
benefits.
(b) That any contractual or other work rules it determines to
be impediments to achieving satisfactory pupil performance shall
not apply at the school. This subparagraph does not allow
unilateral changes in pay scales or benefits.
(c) The school board may remove a staff member from a job
assignment at the school in accordance with any applicable
collective bargaining agreement that applies to that school, after
any modification of the collective bargaining agreement under this
subsection, and direct that he or she be assigned elsewhere.
However, this subparagraph applies only to assignment at that
school and does not allow a staff member to be terminated from his
or her employment with the school district that previously operated
the school.
(13) At least quarterly, the superintendent of public
instruction shall submit a report to the standing committees of the
senate and house of representatives having jurisdiction over
education legislation on the progress being made in improving pupil
proficiency due to the measures under this section.
