| OH | Signed into law 12/2011 | P-12 | Repeals provision requiring any board of trustees of a college-preparatory boarding school to secure at least $20 million dollars of private money to satisfy its share of facilities acquisition to be eligible for state assistance (under new revisions, some boards of trustees may avoid this requirement). Repeals provision requiring a board of trustees receiving assistance under the program to fund the acquisition of residential facilities and any other facilities other than classroom facilities through private means. Repeals provision requiring that lease payments made by the boards of trustees of college-preparatory boarding schools receiving assistance under the program be deposited into the state treasury and credited to the common schools capital facilities bond service fund. Establishes alternative methods for acquisition of college-preparatory boarding school facilities.
Specifies that, acting through its board of trustees, a college preparatory boarding school may sue and be sued, acquire facilities as needed, contract for any services necessary for the operation of the school, and enter into contracts with the department of education. Permits the board of trustees to carry out any act and ensure the performance of any function that is in compliance with the Ohio Constitution, chapter 3328 of the Ohio Code, other statutes applicable to college-preparatory boarding schools, and the contract entered into under chapter 3328 establishing the school. Requires that each college-preparatory boarding school have a fiscal officer who meets state board-established standards. Directs the department of education to monitor the operation, programs, and facilities of the school, including conducting on-site visits of the school.

Provides such specified actions must include procedures for notice of noncompliance and appeal to the state board of the decisions of the department. Repeals all provisions requiring the state board to grant a charter to each college-preparatory boarding school. Transfers certain powers from college-preparatory school operators to schools' boards of trustees. Clarifies that district responsibility to transport college-preparatory boarding school students on a weekly basis may be met by providing the transportation itself, contracting with another entity to provide the transportation, or entering into an agreement with the college-preparatory boarding school board of trustees under which the board will provide the transportation and the district will pay the board an amount specified in the agreement. Clarifies that transportation to and from college-preparatory boarding schools is subject to all school transportation requirements set forth in statute and administrative code.

| IL | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Very similar to S.B. 620 (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/97/SB/PDF/09700SB0620lv.pdf). Differs from S.B. 620 in definition of "school action" by excluding from definition reassignment due to a new
school with an attendance area boundary and that is made to relieve overcrowding. Also creates different fiscal transparency requirements than those created in S.B. 620. S.B. 630 requires that for fiscal year 2012, the chief executive officer provide the Chicago school board with an annual capital expenditure report within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year, to be posted to the district Web site. It also requires that for fiscal year 2013 and thereafter, the chief executive officer provide the board with an annual capital expenditure report with the same specifications as the one S.B. 620 calls for after the bill goes into effect (not phased in, as in S.B. 630). In section regarding contents of a school transition plan, requires that school transition plans include "informational briefings" (rather than "counseling" as in S.B. 620) to provide parents and children with pertinent information to make an informed choice. Clarifies that the chief executive officer publish notice of the proposed school actions each year, rather than by December 2011, as required in S.B. 620, though both require annual posting of proposed school actions to be taken at the close of the current academic year by December 1 of each year. Provides that no Chicago school board decision regarding a proposed school action may take place less than 60 days after the announcement of the proposed school action. Requires the chief executive officer to publish a brief summary of the proposed school actions and the date, time, and place of the hearings or meetings in a newspaper of general circulation. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0474.pdf

Requires that, beginning with fiscal year 2013 and each year thereafter, the chief executive officer publish a proposed one-year capital improvement plan at least 60 days before the end of the prior fiscal year. Requires that the one-year capital improvement plan include specified information for all capital projects for which funds are to be appropriated. Directs the Chicago school board to adopt a final one-year capital improvement plan within 45 days after adopting the annual budget. Beginning with fiscal year 2013, directs the chief executive officer to publish a proposed 5-year capital improvement plan with the proposed one-year capital improvement plan, and requires the 5-year capital improvement plan to be assessed annually. Requires that an annual report be published explaining differences between projected capital projects in the 5-year capital improvement plan and the capital projects authorized in the proposed one-year capital improvement plan for the following fiscal year. Requires that the 5-year plan be published on the district's Web site and distributed to all principals.

Requires the chief executive officer or designee to develop a school transition plan, and to identify and commit specific resources for implementation of the plan for at least the first full academic year after the board approves a school action.

Requires the chief academic officer to annually publish guidelines for school actions, outlining the academic and non-academic criteria for a school action. Outlines processes for providing notice of proposed school actions and providing public hearings. Provides that if the chief executive officer does not follow the statutory mandates for proposing a school action, the proposed school action cannot be approved by the Chicago school board during the school year in which the school action was proposed.
Provides that nothing in these provisions prevents the district from taking emergency action to protect the health and safety of students and staff in an attendance center.
Directs the Chicago Educational Facilities Task Force, after recommendations have been issued, to meet at least once annually to review Chicago's compliance with the aforementioned statutory provisions concerning school action and facility master planning. Directs the task force to prepare a report on how the district has met the school action and facility master planning provisions. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/97/PDF/097-0473.pdf

| AZ | Signed into law 04/2011 | P-12 | Removes the statutory restrictions on the use of Soft Capitol Allocation (SCA) monies. Allows, as session law, 50% of unemnumbered ECA credits to be spent for short term capital items such as technology, textbooks, library resources, instructional aids, pupil transportation vehicles, furniture and equipment in FY 2012 and 2013 only. Schools may only use unencumbered ECA credits received before tax year 2011 for these purposes. Schop;s must also report these expenditrues to Joint Legislative Budget Committee at the end of each fiscal year.

Requires a public school that received fees or a cash contribution to additionally report their dollar amount of fees, categorized by specific extra curricular activity or character education program.
