AI Summary

  • Changes the term "innovation school of technology" to "innovation school of choice" throughout the statute and broadens the program's scope beyond just technology-focused initiatives.

  • Authorizes (rather than requires) innovation schools of choice to adopt blended learning programs, making such programs optional instead of mandatory.

  • Requires charter schools and innovation schools of choice seeking school-level class size calculation averaging to include specific charter contract language articulating their innovation, enrollment policies, and performance metrics reviewed every 3 years.

  • Allows district school boards to operate multiple innovation schools of choice and permits applications listing multiple schools, with each school evaluated individually, removing previous caps on the number of schools per district.

  • Requires the State Board of Education to review performance metrics of each innovation school of choice every 3 years to determine compliance and maintain eligibility for school-level class size averaging.
