EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide that the Governor's appointment of the executive officer of the state board is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate and to revise provisions regarding School Modernization Facilities Fund distributions to school districts.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This is a trailer bill to House Bill 521 that makes three changes: 1) it ensures the executive officer of the state board is Senate confirmed; 2) it delays the implementation of the minimum days requirement for schools to 2025 to ensure legislative oversight while providing the state board flexibility to phase in hours or days requirements; and 3) it ensures any misused dollars by a local school district are recaptured to the schools facilities fund and distributed to rural schools.
