(a) The State Board of Education may take any number of the actions listed in subsection (c) of this section to address a school or school district failure to meet standards for accreditation any time after a school or school district has received notice of being placed on probationary status pursuant to §§ 6-15-202 and 6-15-203.

(b) The state board shall take at least one (1) of the actions listed in subsection (c) to address any school or school district which has failed to meet all standards for accreditation for two (2) consecutive school years, including the year the probationary status is declared pursuant to §§ 6-15-202 and 6-15-203, unless the state board, at its discretion, issues written findings supported by a majority of the state board that the school district could not meet current standards for the relevant time period due to impossibility caused by external forces beyond the school district's control.

(c) The state board shall be allowed to take the following actions to address any school or school district on probationary status for failing to meet the standards for accreditation:

(1) Require a school district to reorganize or reassign the administrative, instructional, or support staff of a public school;

(2) Require a school or school district to institute and fully implement a curriculum that is based on state academic content and achievement standards, including providing appropriate professional development at the cost of the school district;

(3) Remove a particular school from the jurisdiction of a school district and establish alternative public governance and supervision of the school;

(7) Reconstitute the leadership of a school district by removing permanently or suspending on a temporary basis the superintendent of the school district or any particular board members of a school district.

(8) Take any other appropriate action allowed by law which is determined by the state board to assist and address a school or school district failure to meet the standards for accreditation.
