The bill repeals the class size reduction penalty calculation for schools exceeding the class size maximums. However, the bill maintains the requirement that the Department of Education monitors compliance and requires a compliance plan for any school that exceeds class size maximums based on the October student membership survey.
The bill requires that a student whose parent is active duty military personnel and who meets the eligibility criteria for special academic programs offered through public schools must be enrolled in such a program if the student’s parent is transferred to the state during the school year.
The bill also provides that a student whose parent is on active military duty and is transferred within the state after the controlled open enrollment window can enroll in any school within the state.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2023.
Vote: Senate 40-0; House 110-3
