It was written to exempt only Comer schools.
Jennifer Berigan
The final, passed language
of HB 6498 / Public Act 11-135 includes the following
Sec. 5. Subsection (g) of
section 10-223e of the general statutes is repealed and the following is
substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
...(C) The provisions of subparagraphs (A) and (B) [note:
pertaining to the establishment of the governance councils] of this
subdivision shall not apply to a school described in said subparagraphs if
(i) such school consists of a single grade level, or (ii) such school is
under the jurisdiction of a local or regional board of education that has
adopted a similar school governance council model on or before July 1,
2011, that consists of parents, teachers from each grade level or subject
area, administrators and paraprofessionals and such school governance
council model is being administered at such school at the time such school
is so identified as in need of improvement or so designated as a low achieving
school.
Do we know who this exempts?
