DIGEST
SB 234 Original 2021 Regular Session McMath
Proposed law requires public schools to provide accelerated instruction in the applicable subject
matter area to each student in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth grade who fails to pass
any examination administered pursuant to the state's school and district accountability system.
Proposed law allows a student identified as needing accelerated instruction the option of receiving
supplemental instruction or being offered a teacher of record for the subsequent school year who is
designated as "highly effective" pursuant to the state's teacher evaluation system.
Proposed law requires that an accelerated learning committee be established for each student
identified as needing accelerated instruction composed of the student's parent or legal guardian,
teacher of record, and the school principal or his designee.
Proposed law provides that a student's accelerated learning committee shall develop an educational
plan for the student that provides the accelerated instruction needed to enable the student to perform
on grade level by the end of the subsequent school year and provides for instructional time and
learning materials.
Effective August 1, 2021.
