In 2023, Senate Bill 425 created the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education. The goals of the commission are to conduct a study comparing the education policies of this State to those of high-performing international and domestic education systems; make recommendations on how to adapt the appropriate education policies of those high performing education systems into the public education system in this State; make recommendations on how to put the performance of pupils in this State in parity with the performance of those pupils in high-performing education systems; incorporate any relevant findings of any previous or ongoing studies related to funding for education; and develop an implementation plan for the recommendations made, including an analysis of the costs involved. The Commission submits a report regarding its findings to the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Legislative Commission, and the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education.
