AN ACT relating to school councils.
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 160 to require a scholastic audit team, when auditing a school that for two successive accountability cycles has failed to meet its goal, to include actions to improve the functioning of the school council and make recommendations concerning the council in the improvement plan; require the audit team to recommend to the commissioner of education whether the school council shall retain the authority granted to it under KRS 160.345 and if not, recommend whether the authority shall be transferred to the superintendent or a highly skilled educator, and whether the school council shall continue to act in an advisory capacity until all authority has been restored; provide that a scholastic audit team, when auditing a district of a school that for two successive accountability cycles has failed to meet its goal shall include actions to strengthen the school council in the district's assistance plan; require the district audit team to recommend to the commissioner of education whether the school council shall retain the authority granted to it under KRS 160.345 and if not, recommend whether the authority shall be transferred to the superintendent or a highly skilled educator, and whether the school council shall continue to act in an advisory capacity until all authority has been restored; provide that if the school and district audit teams recommend transfer of the council's authority to the superintendent, the commissioner of education shall transfer the authority; within 30 days of the commissioner's action, the school council may request that the Kentucky Board of Education consider the matter by submitting a written request including any supporting information; if both the audit teams recommend transfer of the council's authority to a highly skilled educator, or if they recommend transfer of the council's authority but are not in agreement as to the party granted the council's authority, the commissioner shall make a recommendation to the state board; the school's right to establish a council or the school's right for the council to assume the full authority granted under KRS 160.345 shall be restored when the school meets its accountability goal for an accountability cycle as determined by the Kentucky Department of Education; amend KRS 158.6455, 158.782, and 160.345 to conform.
