SB332
Dissolve academic distress comms; require student support teams
📋 What This Bill Does
The bill dissolves academic distress commissions and requires the establishment of student support teams for low-performing school buildings starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The support teams will consist of various stakeholders, including school board members, teachers, and parents, and will develop recommendations to support student learning. Additionally, the bill allows law enforcement agencies to provide school resource officer services to chartered nonpublic schools.

Rationale
The bill introduces government oversight in education through mandated support teams and the involvement of law enforcement in schools, which may conflict with LP principles of minimal government intervention. However, it does promote parental involvement and local decision-making, which aligns somewhat with LPO principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over education
- Potential for overreach in law enforcement presence in schools
- Mandated structures may limit flexibility for local schools
