Omnibus bill would redefine unused‑facility rules, allow remote proctoring and tighten truancy and governance penalties An unnamed sponsor presented SB 311, a multi‑topic education bill that would define the 60% capacity threshold for unused school facilities, allow charter/nonpublic schools to bid for closed buildings in some cases, require an annual Nov. 30 report of unused facilities, codify remote proctoring rules with a nine‑student proctor limit and expand truancy monitoring and superintendent licensure penalties.
