MI HB4166

Prohibits community districts from authorizing new public school academies at locations where lowest-achieving 5% schools operate or operated in the previous 3 years, if the academy would have substantially the same leadership and curriculum as the previous school.

Requires authorizing bodies to be nationally accredited before issuing new public school academy, urban high school academy, or school of excellence contracts in community districts, with same location/performance restrictions applied.

Mandates automatic revocation of public school academy, urban high school academy, or school of excellence contracts when sites in the lowest-achieving 5% operate for 4+ years, unless closure would cause unreasonable hardship to students lacking other public school options.

Establishes that authorizing body decisions on contract issuance, non-issuance, reconstitution, termination, or revocation are final and not subject to court review, with immunity granted to authorizing bodies for such actions.

Repeals section 1280g of the 1976 Public Act 451 (specific provision not detailed in text).
