The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 1287 mandates the Department of Education to conduct a study on schools within the state. The bill requires the department to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by May 20, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance understanding and oversight of educational institutions in the state. The bill introduces new legal language that establishes the requirement for the study, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. There are no deletions from current law in this bill, as it primarily focuses on adding new provisions to enhance educational oversight. The statement of purpose emphasizes the intent to require the Department of Education to undertake this important study.
