New School Codes Expand Districts and Rights Across State
The new school code would create smaller, more numerous districts with limited admin staff, allow excused absences for family vacations, grant public comments on board resolutions, require majority consent to merge districts, guarantee hearings for exceptional children, extend free education to all residents up to high school, and allow parental bans on corporal punishment as hearings begin this spring and vote hoped after Labor Day.
