Summary

The bill directs the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, with board approval, to hire research or nonprofit experts to convene a diverse working group. That group must draft a "Closing the Achievement Gap State Operations and Support Plan" with specific goals, benchmarks and remedial actions, and submit it to the Governor and Legislature by March 1 2028. The plan is meant to align state education entities and support local districts without adding new reporting burdens.
