Description
Public elementary and secondary schools; establishment of opportunity classrooms. Provides that, subject to school board or school administration approval, each local school board shall enter into an agreement to establish an opportunity classroom, or a classroom in which an alternative curriculum is offered, with a requesting party if such party represents more than 20 students and permits such local school board to enter into such an agreement if such requesting party represents fewer than 20 students.
