The purpose of this bill is to provide a framework to support a network of not more than 20 schools that are interested in transitioning to an educational system wherein students’ progress when they have mastered the subject matter content, rather when they have received at least the minimum grade at the end of a required period of course time. The bill sets forth and identifies those systems  are generally referred to as mastery-based, proficiency-based or competency-based systems and are intended to both reduce the skill deficits that students accumulate when they progress through the subject matter without mastering it and empower students to move on to more challenging material more quickly once they have achieved mastery. The bill provides such a framework by creating a special category for Innovation in Education/Mastery-Based grants under the Innovation in Education program. The bill provides that an application for initial consideration is open to all public schools and the applicants are then narrowed down to not more than 20 determined to be ready for such an undertaking. The bill provides that this multistep process includes additional capacity-building for this initial network of not more than 20 schools and allows an opt out, prior to the requirement for submission of an Innovation in Education/Mastery-Based implementation plan and operational agreement with the applicable county board of education. The bill provides that schools awarded an implementation grant are required to continue participation in the “incubator” network with the other grantee schools during implementation.
