| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Provides that a separate accountability compliance commission must be established for each school district for which the state superintendent opts to establish a commission due to noncompliance with financial budgeting or reporting requirements per section 3306.33. Establishes protocols for accountability compliance commissions. Provides the commission may do any of the following:
(1) Prepare and submit the school district's spending plan required under section 3306.30 and, if applicable, section 3306.31
(2) Appoint school building administrators and reassign administrative personnel
(3) Terminate the contracts of administrators or administrative personnel
(4) Contract with a private entity to perform school or district management functions
(5) Establish a district budget and approve district appropriations and expenditures, unless a financial planning and supervision commission has been established for the district
(6) Exercise the powers, duties and functions with respect to the district as are granted to a financial planning and supervision commission, unless a financial planning and supervision commission has been established for the district.
Directs each commission to seek local board input on means to improve district operations and compliance with state requirements, but clarifies that any decision of the commission related to any authority granted the commission by statute is final. Provides that if any board of a district for which an accountability compliance commission has been established renews any collective bargaining agreement, the board cannot enter into any agreement that would render any decision of the commission unenforceable. Provides that an accountability compliance commission will cease to exist at the beginning of the first year that none of the circumstances described in division (A) of section 3306.33 apply to the district.

| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | By July 2011, directs the department of education to provide technical assistance to that either has failed to comply with any applicable expenditure or reporting standard prescribed by rule adopted under section 3306.25, or that fails to submit a spending plan under section 3306.30 and, if applicable, section 3306.31, in order to bring the district into compliance with expenditure and reporting standards. Also requires such a district to develop and submit to the department a three-year operations improvement plan; notify all parents of students of the standards or requirements that were not met, the actions being taken to meet the standards or requirements and any progress to date toward meeting requirements; and present the plan, and take public testimony with respect to it, in a public hearing before the board. Provides that if one of the triggers applies a second consecutive year, the department must provide technical assistance and the district must perform the aforementioned actions, plus the department must establish a state intervention team to evaluate all aspects of the district's operations, including management, instructional methods, resource allocation and scheduling, and make recommendations on methods for bringing the district into compliance with the applicable standards. Provides that if one of the triggers applies a third consecutive year, whether it is the same or different trigger as in preceding years, the state superintendent must establish an accountability compliance commission or appoint a trustee to manage the district in place of the local board until the beginning of the first year that neither of the triggers applies to the district. Provides that if either trigger applies for a fourth consecutive year, the state board must take action to revoke the district's charter.

| TX | Signed into law 06/2009 | P-12 | Amends language regarding actions the commissioner may take as regards a district that does not satisfy accreditation criteria, academic performance standards or any financial accountability standard. Provides that the commissioner may order the preparation of a student achievement improvement plan that addresses each student achievement indicator under Section 39.053(c) for which district performance is insufficient. Provides that if a district fails to satisfy any standard under Section 39.054(e), the commissioner may appoint a board of managers to exercise the powers and duties of the board of trustees. Provides that if for two consecutive years a district has failed to satisfy any standard under Section 39.054(e), the commissioner may revoke the district's accreditation and order the district's annexation to an adjoining district or, in the case of a home-rule district or charter school, order closure of all programs operated under the district's or school's charter. Specifies several potential sanctions for a district that fails to satisfy any standard under Section 39.054(e) due to the district's dropout rates.
Amends language regarding actions the commissioner may take as regards a campus whose performance is below any standard under Section 39.054(e). Repeals provision allowing the commissioner to permit the campus to participate in an innovative redesign of the campus to improve campus performance. Repeals language establishing certain sanctions for low-performing campuses (e.g., ordering a hearing by the local board of trustees at the campus, ordering the preparation of a report on campus's parental involvement program, ordering a report on the effectiveness of the district- and campus-level planning and decision-making committees, ordering the preparation, state approval and implmementation of a student improvement plan).
Adds that if a campus performance is below any standard under Section 39.054(e), the commissioner may establish a school community partnership team that includes members of the campus-level planning and
decision-making committee and additional community representatives. Provides that if the commissioner determines that a campus subject to interventions or sanctions has implemented substantially similar intervention measures under federal accountability requirements, the commissioner may accept the substantially similar intervention measures as measures in compliance with state-level sanctions/interventions policy.
Amends provisions relating to a campus whose performance satisfies performance standards under Section 39.054(e) for the current school year but that would not satisfy performance standards under Section 39.054(e) if the standards to be used for the following school year were applied to the current school year. Provides that on the commissioner's request, the campus-level committee must revise and submit to the commissioner the portions of the campus improvement plan that are relevant to those areas for which the campus would not satisfy performance standards. Provides that if the campus is a charter school, the campus must establish a campus-level planning and decision-making committee and develop a campus improvement plan. On the commissioner's request, directs the charter school to submit to the commissioner the portions of the campus improvement plan that are relevant to those areas for which the campus would not satisfy performance standards.
Amends provisions related to campus intervention teams. Requires the commisioner to assign any campus whose performance is below any standard under Section 39.054(e) a campus intervention team. Requires the team, with the involvement of the school community partnership team, if applicable, to conduct a targeted on-site needs assessment relevant to an area of insufficient performance or, if the commissioner determines necessary, a comprehensive on-site needs assessment (former language called for a comprehensive on-site needs assessments for low-performing schools). Directs a campus intervention team to develop a *targeted* improvement plan (former language called for creation of "school improvement plan for student achievement"). Additionally directs the campus intervention team to assist the campus in submitting the targeted improvement plan to the board of trustees for approval and presenting the plan in a public hearing. Clarifies that teams must use *all* of enumerated guidelines and procedures relevant to each area of insufficient performance in conducting a targeted on-site needs assessment, and must use each of the enumerated guidelines and procedures in conducting a comprehensive on-site needs assessment. Adds that all targeted (as appropriate) and comprehensive on-site needs assessments must include (1) an assessment of the percentage of teachers who are fully certified, (2) an assessment of the extent and quality of the mentoring program for teachers with less than two years teaching experience in the subject or grade level to which they are assigned, and (3) a comparison of findings of specified elements against other campuses serving the same grade levels in the district or to other campuses within the campus's comparison group if there are no other campuses within the district serving the same grade levels as the campus. Provides that if the campus has a school community partnership team, the campus intervention team must seek the involvement and advice of the partnership team in recommending actions relating to any area of insufficient performance. Adds teacher recruitment and retention strategies as an area upon which the campus intervention team and school community partnership team may make recommendations following completion of the on-site needs assessment. Provides that in executing a targeted improvement plan, the campus intervention team must, if appropriate, require the district to develop a teacher recruitment and retention plan to address the qualifications and retention of the teachers at the campus.
Directs the campus intervention team to help the campus submit the targeted improvement plan to the commissioner for approval. Provides the commissioner may authorize a school community partnership team to supersede the authority of and satisfy the requirements of establishing and maintaining a campus-level planning and decision-making committee. Provides the commissioner may authorize a targeted improvement plan or updated plan to supersede the provisions of and satisfy the requirements of developing, reviewing and revising a campus improvement plan.
Updates language to provide that a campus intervention team must work with a campus with an unacceptable performance rating until the campus satisfies all performance standards under Section 39.054(e) for a two-year period (or a one-year period under certain circumstances). Provides that the campus intervention team must additionally assist the low-performing campus in updating the targeted improvement plan
to identify and analyze areas of growth and areas that require improvement, and submit each such updated plan to the district board of trustees. Directs the board of trustees to conduct a public hearing to inform the public and solicit public comment after a targeted improvement plan or updated plan is submitted, and to submit the targeted improvement plan or any updated plan to the commissioner for approval.
