H237 - Repeal Personal Education Plans/Modify Transition Plans (SL 2015-46)

Overview: S.L. 2015-46 repeals personal education plans and modifies the development of transition plans for at risk students. Local boards of education must adopt and implement rules directing school improvement teams to develop transition plans for at risk students, to help those students make the transition between both the elementary and middle school years and middle and high school years.

The State Board of Education must report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by November 15, 2016, on how at risk students are being identified and served through interventions to prevent academic failure.

This act became effective June 2, 2015, and applies beginning with the 2015-2016 school year.
