Summary
The purpose of this bill is to improve the focus on school-level continuous improvement processes led by the principal. The bill includes instructional leadership among the duties and responsibilities of principals and assistants and requires instruction in their certification requirements. The instruction must include the standards for high quality schools, the school accreditation process and strategic planning for continuous improvement. School systems are given the flexibility to establish their own systems of support and supervision of beginning principals and the current state mandated programs and processes are eliminated. The systems for delivering professional development are realigned to focus on the needs identified by schools in their strategic planning processes led by the principal, including those identified through professional personnel evaluations, and the state-level professional development plan is eliminated. In addition, the current Center for Professional Development, Principal’s Academy, and Department and Secretary of Education and the Arts are eliminated along with related programs that are no longer operational, and the various remaining divisions in the Department of Education and the Arts are transferred to other Departments except for the Educational Broadcasting Authority which will become an independent agency within the Executive branch.
