HB 153 -- Community Improvement Districts

Sponsor:  Brown (50)

This bill authorizes community improvement districts that are
political subdivisions to sponsor and operate a polytechnic
institute for science, technology, and related educational
specialties for grades kindergarten through 12.  The polytechnic
institute will:

(1)  Not use any local school district tax levies;

(2)  Be under the Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education's oversight and standards; and

(3)  Be governed by a board consisting of at least seven members
appointed by the district.

The bill specifies the qualifications and terms of board members
and requires admission slots into the polytechnic institute to be
equitably distributed throughout the polytechnic district based
on population.
