Interim superintendents; modify role when state of emergency is lifted.

Created a new School District Emergency Assistance Fund with an annual maximum balance of $3 million to provide interest-free loans to financially impaired districts under emergency or transformation status.

Added authority for the State Board of Education to initiate civil and criminal actions against officials responsible for extreme emergencies, with recovered funds applied to district loans.

Authorized the State Board to withhold total funding formula funds from districts that fail to timely report student, personnel, and fiscal data required for state and federal compliance.

Extended interim superintendent oversight to continue for two years after emergency declaration ends, with the interim superintendent serving alongside the newly appointed superintendent during the school board's first year of full administration.

Added new performance criteria for accountability ratings including individual student growth (emphasis on lowest 25% of students), career-readiness assessments, and feeder pattern accountability for schools without statewide assessments.

Required school librarians to spend at least 50% of direct work time in the library and no more than 25% on library-related administrative activities.

Expanded eligibility for District of Transformation placement to include districts with serious financial resource lack, not just poor academic performance.

Added specific criteria for determining when a district qualifies for District of Transformation, including receiving an 'F' rating for two consecutive years or 'D'/'F' for four consecutive years.

Deleted several sections related to feeder pattern notifications and other procedural requirements that were superseded by new accountability provisions.
