            Section A. Chapter 162, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 162.082, to read as follows:

            162.082. School boards in provisionally accredited and unaccredited school districts, and those with buildings performing at unaccredited levels, shall enter into a contract with the state board of education to commit to certain interventions for each school building. When a contract is executed, the state board of education shall not accredit such district at a level below provisionally accredited for the term of the contract. Such contract shall require intensive professional development for all board members, administrators, and teachers. When the state board of education deems it necessary, the contract shall include provisions requiring the school district to engage community partners to support school improvement projects within thirty days of the contract execution or the contract shall be null and void.
