SB101 Summary

• School districts must expend 100% of enhanced student achievement funds annually to provide six categories of supports: teacher compensation, academic interventions, social-emotional supports, physical and mental health resources, early intervention programs, and postsecondary access opportunities.

• Each public school district must submit a three-year enhanced student achievement plan by July 1, 2022, describing strategies to enhance student achievement and how funds will support those strategies, with annual reviews and updates required.

• School districts failing to demonstrate progress toward plan goals for three consecutive years may face additional monitoring, increased support under § 6-15-2913, or a corrective action plan developed with the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education.

• School districts with enhanced student achievement funding balances exceeding 15% of their annual allocation must reduce the balance by at least 10% each year until reaching the 15% cap by June 30, 2022, and maintain that level thereafter.

• The State Board of Education's previous list of approved programs expires June 30, 2022, and the Division must promulgate new rules including submission processes, expenditure monitoring procedures, and qualification criteria for allowable supports and resources.
