Allowing rescission or reversal of school closure decisions through July 15

Summary

The bill lets a county board of education undo a decision to permanently close a public school for the upcoming school year, provided the reversal vote occurs by July 15. The reversal must be approved by a majority at a public meeting, the state superintendent and state board of education must be notified, and the board must take steps to reopen the school. This gives communities a chance to reconsider closures before the new school year begins.
