| OH | Signed into law 08/2011 | P-12 | Permits a school to apply to its district board to be designated as an innovation school. Requires an application to include numerous elements, including a statement of the school's mission and an explanation of how the designation would enhance the school's ability to fulfill its mission; a description of the innovations the school would implement; a description of the improvements in student academic performance the school expects to achieve by implementing the innovations; and estimate of the cost savings and increased efficiencies, if any, that the school expects to achieve by implementing the innovations. Permits two or more schools in the district to apply for designation as an innovation school zone, if the schools share common geographical proximity or similar educational programs, or if the schools serve the same classes of students as they advance to higher grade levels. Directs local boards in approving innovation school or innovation school zone applications to give preference to applications that propose innovations in any of a number of areas. Permits the board to approve an application that allows an innovation school or innovation school zone-participating school to determine employee compensation, but provides that total compensation for all such employees must not exceed the financial resources allocated to the school by the board. Permits an innovation school or innovation school zone-participating school to remove employees from the school, but no employee may be terminated except as provided in section 3319.081 or 3319.16. Also permits a local board to designate a school as an innovation school, and to designate two or more schools as an innovation school zone, by creating an innovation plan for the school(s).
Directs a local board that has approved an application for an innovation school or innovation school zone, or that has designated an innovation school or innovation school zone, to apply to the state board of education for designation as a school district of innovation. Permits the state board to deny the application if the innovation plan is deemed not financially feasible or to likely result in decreased academic achievement, in which case the district must not implement the innovation plan. Permits a district to reapply for designation as a school district of innovation at any time. Establishes a process for a district to submit a preliminary review of an innovation plan before submitting a formal application for designation as a school district of innovation. Provides that upon designation of a school district of innovation, the state board must waive laws specified in the innovation plan as needing to be waived to implement the plan, but only for those schools participating in the innovation plan. Identifies provisions of law from which no waivers may be applied. Requires collective bargaining agreements entered into after the effective date of this act to allow for the waiver of any provision of the agreement in the event the district is designated as a school district of innovation. Directs local boards to make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests for transfer of employees in innovation schools or innovation school zones to another school in the district.
Requires local boards to evaluate the performance of innovation schools and innovation school zones no later than every three years to determine if the school is achieving, or making sufficient progress toward achieving, the improvements in student academic performance described in its innovation plan. Permits a district to revoke innovation status if achievement or progress toward achievement is deemed insufficient. Permits a school to be removed from an innovation school zone, or for the designation of all schools in an innovation school zone to be revoked, if insufficient achievement or progress toward achievement is found. Permits a district to revise an innovation plan in collaboration with school(s) participating in the plan, to further enhance student performance; however, any revisions to an innovation plan must require the consent, in
each school participating in the plan, of a majority of the administrators and a majority of the teachers assigned to that school. Permits the board of any district designated a school district of innovation, or any school participating in an innovation plan to accept, receive, and expend gifts, grants, or donations from any public or private entity to support the implementation of the plan.
Requires the department of education to annually report on school districts of innovation, including an overview of the innovations implemented in innovation schools and innovation school zones; data on the academic performance of the students enrolled in an innovation school or an innovation school zone, including a comparison of the students' academic performance before and after the district's designation as a school district of innovation; and recommendations for legislative changes based on the innovations implemented or to enhance the ability of schools and districts to implement innovations.

| OH | Signed into law 06/2011 | P-12 | Provides that for any building that is ranked in the lowest 5% of all public school buildings statewide for three consecutive years and is declared to be under an academic watch or in a state of academic emergency, the district board must do one of the following: (1) Close the school and direct the district superintendent to reassign the students to another school; (2) Contract with another school district or a nonprofit or for-profit entity with a demonstrated record of effectiveness to operate the school; (3) Replace the principal and all teaching staff and, upon request from the new principal, exempt the school from all requested policies and regulations of the board regarding curriculum and instruction. The board must also distribute funding to the school in an amount that is at least equal to the product of the per pupil amount of state and local revenues received by the district multiplied by the student population of the school. (4) Reopen the school as a conversion community school. Provides that if any of the actions described above causes the district to no longer maintain all grades K-12, the district must contract with another district for enrollment of students.

| NJ | Issued 04/2011 | P-12 | Establishes the New Jersey Education Transformation Task Force. Charges the task force with reviewing all current administrative regulations that affect public education, and evaluating them to determine the degree to which they increase the quality of instruction for students, improve student academic achievement, improve teaching effectiveness, or improve the safety and well-being of students. Directs the task force to also review the statutes supporting these administrative regulations. Requires the task force to prepare recommendations for the governor and commissioner of education regarding all statutes and regulations that are overly prescriptive. Additionally directs the task force to review existing accountability systems and resulting incentive structures for public schools and districts, including the Quality Single Accountability Continuum ("Q SAC"). Directs the task force to provide recommendations to the governor on an accountability system that would give schools and districts greater autonomy while maintaining strict accountability measures in the areas of student performance, safety and fiscal responsibility.
Permits the task force to elicit public input from specified stakeholders. Directs the task force to issue an initial report to the governor by August 15, 2011, and to revise the recommendations as necessary based on comments from the public, stakeholders and the state board of education. Provides the task force will expire upon the governor's receipt of a report containing its final recommendations. Directs the task force to issue its final recommendations by December 31, 2011, to provide the final report to the legislature and state board, and make the report available to the general public.
