| GA | Signed into law 03/2000 | P-12 | The Governor may appoint study commissions as he deems appropriate to study education questions, issue findings and make recommendations to the Education Coordinating Council. This provision will go into effect upon signature to allow the current Education Reform Commission to continue. The Education Coordinating Council (ECC) is created. The ECC is assigned 15 duties, some of which include exercising oversight of accountability systems in other departments and coordinating the activities of state, regional, and local cooperative public education agencies, offices, or councils. The Office of Education Accountability (OEA) is also created. The OEA is directed to establish accountability policies and standards for the state and establish the "official" report card. The Governor and the OEA will give rewards to successful schools. The State Board of Education is given the task of mandating interventions for failing schools, including appointing special masters, mandating school improvement teams, removal of school personnel, allow for a state charter school, mandating the complete reconstitution of the school and hiring all new staff and mandating that parents have the option to relocate to another public school in the district. The OEA develops and both the Council and the State Board of Education adopt a definition for which students are performing "below grade level" and the definition of "dropout." It is charged with setting the pass score for the CRCT and end of course tests.
