Senators FANNING and HEMBREE proposed the following amendment (201R004.SP.MWF):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, on page 5, line 7, by adding an appropriately lettered new subsection to read:

/ () After a school has been in a state-of-education emergency for three consecutive years, the State Superintendent of Education may extend the state-of-education emergency for an additional three-year period only upon the approval of the State Board of Education. The State Superintendent of Education may make requests every three years, which must be approved or disapproved by the board. If the State Superintendent of Education does not request additional time, or if the State Board of Education disapproves a request, then the school shall revert back to the control of the local school board. /
