SB468: Bill Text

Under current law, the state no longer awards grants to certain school districts to employ additional school nurses or contract for additional nursing services. This bill repeals DPI's administrative rules relating to these grants.

Under current law, the state no longer awards grants to school districts for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs (STEM grants). This bill repeals DPI's administrative rules relating to these grants.

Current law authorizes the state superintendent of public instruction to revoke any license issued by DPI for incompetency or immoral conduct on the part of the licensee. This bill modifies the definition of "immoral conduct" in DPI's administrative rules to conform to the statutory definition of the term.

Current law allows a school board to contract with private, nonprofit, nonsectarian agencies to provide programs for children at risk enrolled in the school district. The statute no longer restricts the percentage of such pupils for whom the school board may contract. This bill eliminates that restriction in DPI's administrative rules.
