❌ SB322
Dissolve academic distress comms; require student support teams
Summary
The bill dissolves academic distress commissions in Ohio and requires the establishment of student support teams for low-performing school buildings, specifically those rated less than two stars on the state report card for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. The student support teams will be composed of various stakeholders, including school board members, teachers, and parents, and will develop recommendations to improve student support and learning outcomes.
Rationale
The bill introduces government intervention in education by mandating the formation of support teams, which may conflict with the LP's emphasis on minimal government involvement in personal and educational choices. However, it does not significantly expand government control compared to existing structures, leading to a mixed alignment with LPO principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over educational processes
- Potential for inefficiencies in mandated support teams
- Limited parental choice in educational interventions
