AI Summary

  • Requires authorizing bodies (school districts, intermediate school boards, community colleges, and state public universities) to submit annual compliance reports to the superintendent of public instruction and state board documenting each academy's statutory and contractual compliance.

  • Mandates that authorizing bodies provide detailed accounting to academy boards of directors showing how oversight fees collected (capped at 3% of state school aid) were specifically expended, including itemized lists of use and purpose.

  • Changes superintendent of public instruction's authority from discretionary ("may") to mandatory ("shall") to suspend an authorizing body's power to issue new contracts for public school academies, urban high school academies, schools of excellence, and strict discipline academies when the authorizing body is not providing appropriate continuing oversight.

  • Establishes a petition and appeal process allowing suspended authorizing bodies to request reinstatement from the state board, which must establish benchmarks for compliance if it finds the superintendent's suspension was not arbitrary or capricious.

  • Requires the superintendent to order return of all oversight fees to the state school aid fund if an authorizing body has an active contract with a non-compliant academy.
