Copy link
I.

(a) A school shall have one year from the date that a school has been designated as a targeted support and improvement school or a comprehensive support and improvement school pursuant to RSA 193-H:3 to take action to remedy identified problems at the local level. The school shall create an initial plan that identifies actions that it intends implement to correct the areas of concern. The plan shall be submitted to the state board within 90 days of the date that the school or school district was designated as a targeted support and improvement school or a comprehensive support and improvement school. If the plan does not sufficiently address the areas of concern, the state board shall disapprove the plan within 30 days. If the state board disapproves the plan, the state board's designee shall work with the school district where the school is located to amend the plan so that it meets state board approval. One year following the designation, if the school or school district is not making satisfactory progress in implementing its plan, the commissioner shall issue a notice to the school district and shall initiate a process for providing assistance pursuant to this section.
