performance standards to partner with an institution of higher
education to improve district performance.

Bill Analysis
This bill would allow failing school districts to partner with institutions of higher education for assistance in raising their accountability rating.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Allowing districts to partner with higher education institutions to improve their academic performance seems like a reasonable change that is likely to benefit the education system as a whole. However, this bill does not have a direct connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
