❌ SB19
Regards academic intervention, math improvement and intervention
Summary
The bill mandates public schools and community schools to implement academic intervention services for students demonstrating limited skills in mathematics. Schools must develop and submit improvement plans if less than 51% of students achieve proficiency on state assessments, and they are required to create individualized plans for students needing additional support within 60 days of assessment results. The bill also establishes guidelines for data collection and reporting related to student performance and intervention services.
Rationale
The bill increases government oversight and mandates specific educational interventions, which conflicts with Libertarian principles advocating for minimal government involvement in education and parental control over children's education. The requirement for schools to report extensive data and develop improvement plans adds layers of bureaucracy that contradict the Libertarian emphasis on free markets and individual choice.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential for data privacy issues
- Bureaucratic inefficiencies
