Substitute House Bill No. 5237, Public Act No. 24-116, is an act that mandates the inclusion of student surveys in the evaluation process for private career schools seeking to renew their certificate of authorization. This bill amends Section 10a-22b of the general statutes by adding a new subsection (h), which will take effect on July 1, 2024. The Office of Higher Education is tasked with developing a survey by January 1, 2025, that will gather student feedback on the quality of courses or programs of instruction. This survey is to be completed by students during the evaluation of a private career school.

The bill specifies that the survey should contain questions about the quality of the education provided and must be administered to students by the evaluation team as part of the school's evaluation process. This new requirement applies to all evaluation teams appointed on or after January 1, 2025. The inclusion of student surveys aims to ensure that student experiences and perspectives are considered when assessing the performance and quality of private career schools. There are no deletions indicated in the provided text of the bill.
