SB 1206 - This act grants the State Board of Education the authority to lapse any school district that is provisionally accredited if said district has been unaccredited during the previous five years and the State Board of Education determines that the district is not generating adequate progress toward achieving full accreditation.

Further, the act alters the stated purpose of the required public hearing concerning the lapse of a school district.

Lastly, in the case of a lapsed district, the act allows the State Board of Education to continue operation of the school district under the existing governance structure regulated by terms and conditions established by the state board of education.
