OK SB1431

State Board of Education must establish a process to identify schools that are persistently in need of improvement and classified as low performing under federal law (20 U.S.C. Section 6301 et seq.)

Schools identified as low performing must implement a locally developed, evidence-based intervention model rather than choosing from four previously mandated options (turnaround, restart, closure, or transformation models)

Schools identified for improvement for 4 consecutive years must seek support from the State Department of Education, which may include academic intervention, professional development, or governance restructuring

If student achievement remains insufficient after 2 years of implementing state support plans, the State Board of Education may assume control of the school and retain all funding based on average daily membership

Effective date of July 1, 2016, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval
