Creating a moratorium for two years on school closures and providing for a pause on impending school closures.

Summary

The bill stops county boards from closing or merging schools for two years, unless a voter‑approved construction bond already covers the schools. It forces boards to publish written reasons, impact statements and hold public hearings, and it allows an optional emergency levy election. The pause is intended to give the legislature time to revise the school aid funding formula.
