Senate Bill 1013 (Substitute S-2 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Wayne Kuipers
Committee: Education
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Revised School Code to apply certain measures to a school that failed to achieve the Federal pupil performance standard for five or more consecutive years. Currently, a school that has been unaccredited for three consecutive years is subject to one or more of the following measures, as determined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction:
-- The Superintendent or his or her designee must appoint an administrator of the school, at its expense, until the school becomes accredited.
-- A parent, legal guardian, or person in loco parentis of a child who attends the school may send the child to any accredited school with an appropriate grade level within the district.
-- The school, with the Superintendent's approval, must align itself with an existing research-based school improvement model or establish an affiliation for providing assistance to the school with a college or university located in the State.
-- The school must be closed.
Under the bill, a school also would be subject to one or more of those measures if it failed to achieve the Federal pupil performance standard for five or more years, as determined by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), for five or more consecutive years (that is, the MDE had determined that the school had failed to achieve adequate yearly progress under the No Child Left Behind Act or had not met a successor Federal standard that the Superintendent had identified as being a Federal standard based on pupil performance and was required to be met in order to receive full Federal funding).
An administrator appointed under those provisions would be appointed until the school became accredited or had been determined by the MDE to have achieved the Federal pupil performance standard for two consecutive years. Also, if a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis sent a child to an accredited school within the district, the school would have to be accredited or have achieved the Federal pupil performance standard for the most recent year for which a determination had been made.

FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would have no fiscal impact on State or local government. The legislation would update the Code to refer to adequate yearly progress (AYP) as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act or a successor Federal standard, and corrective actions and options available if AYP were not achieved for five consecutive years.
