MI SB1428

Requires superintendent of public instruction to publish annually by September 1 a list of public schools in the lowest-achieving 5% statewide, based on federal "Race to the Top" grant program criteria.

Mandates schools on the list submit redesign plans within 90 days that implement one of four federal intervention models: turnaround, restart, school closure, or transformation.

Establishes state school reform/redesign officer position to oversee failing schools, approve redesign plans, and assume control of schools if plans are inadequate or results are unsatisfactory.

Allows modification of collective bargaining agreements through addendums to eliminate seniority systems and work rules that impede school improvement, while preserving pay scales and benefits under turnaround model.

Enables superintendent to appoint a chief executive officer to manage multiple low-performing schools with same powers as reform/redesign officer, and permits schools showing significant improvement to be released from state intervention measures.
