The superintendent may present such information as he or she deems appropriate.\n\n(e) In determining whether it is in the best interest of the student to change the student's school or assignment, the superintendent shall consider the student's academic, physical, personal, or social needs.\n\n(f) If the superintendent finds it is in the best of the interest of the student to change the student's school or assignment, the superintendent shall initiate:\n\n(1) A change of assignment within the student's current assigned school;\n\n(2) The student's transfer to another public school or public academy within the district of residence; or\n\n(3) The student's transfer to a public school or public academy in another district.\n\n(g) If a student is reassigned as a result of a best interest determination, the superintendents involved in the reassignment shall jointly establish a tuition rate for such student. Some or all of the tuition may be waived by the superintendent of the receiving district for good cause shown or pursuant to school board policy of the receiving district. The school board of the student's district of residence shall approve the payment of tuition upon the superintendent's finding that is in the best interest of the student to be reassigned. Transportation shall be the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian.\n\n(h) If the superintendent does not find that it is in the best interest of the student to change the student's school or assignment, the parent or guardian may request a hearing with the school board of residence to determine if the student is experiencing a manifest educational hardship under paragraph II.\n\nII.(a) \"Manifest educational hardship\" means that a student has a documented hardship in his or her current educational placement; and that such hardship has a detrimental or negative impact on the student's academic achievement or growth, physical safety, or social and emotional well-being. Such hardship must be so severe, pervasive, or persistent that it interferes with or limits the ability of the student to receive an education.\n\n(b) The superintendent shall duly notify the school board that the parent or guardian has requested a manifest educational hardship hearing, upon which the school board shall schedule a hearing to be held no more than 15 days after the request has been received.\n\n(c) At such hearing, the parent or guardian may present documents, witnesses, or other relevant evidence supporting their belief that the student is experiencing a manifest educational hardship. The superintendent may present such information as he or she may deem appropriate to assist the school board in reaching its decision. The parties shall have the right to examine all evidence and witnesses.\n\n(d) Prior to or at such hearing, the parent or guardian shall make a specific request that the student be re-assigned by the school board to another public school or public academy within the district or to a public school or public academy in another district.\n\n(e) The parent or guardian shall have the burden of establishing the presence of a manifest educational hardship by clear and convincing evidence.\n\n(f) If the school board finds that the student has a manifest educational hardship, the school board shall grant the parent's or guardian's request to re-assign the student to another public school or public academy within the district or to a public school or public academy in another district.\n\n(g) If the school board finds that the parent or guardian has not met their burden of proof, the parent or guardian may appeal the local school board decision to the state board of education. If the state board of education chooses to accept the parent's or guardian's appeal, the state board of education shall schedule hearing on the matter, pursuant to applicable department of education rules.\n\n(h) If a student is assigned to attend school in another district because of a manifest educational hardship, the district in which the student resides shall pay tuition to the district to which the child is re-assigned. Such tuition shall be computed according to RSA 193:4. The school board of the district in which the student resides shall approve the tuition payment.\n\nIII. The state board of education may permit such child to withdraw from the school the student currently attends for such time as the state board deems necessary. Children with disabilities as defined in RSA 186-C:2 shall be accorded a due process review pursuant to rules adopted under RSA 186-C:16.\n\nIII-a.(a) A student reassigned under this section shall be counted in the average daily membership in residence of the student's resident school district. The student's resident district shall forward any tuition payment due to the district to which the student was reassigned.\n\n(b) The superintendent of the student's resident school administrative unit shall notify the department of education within 30 days of any reassignment of students under this section.\n\n(c) Nothing in this section shall alter or impair the right of a child with a disability, as defined in RSA 186-C:2, to be accorded a due process review pursuant to rules adopted under RSA 186-C:16.\n\n(d) The total reassignments or transfers in any one school year shall not exceed one percent of the average daily membership in residence of a school district, or 5 percent of the average daily membership in residence of any single school, whichever is greater, unless the school board votes to exceed this limit.\n\n(e) The state board of education shall adopt rules, pursuant to RSA 541-A, relative to manifest educational hardship. Each school board shall establish a policy, consistent with the state board's rules, which shall allow a school board, with the recommendation of the superintendent, to take appropriate action including assignment to another public school or public academy within the district or to a public school or public academy in another district.\n\n(f) Students re-assigned under this section shall meet the admission requirements of the school to which the student is re-assigned.\n\n38:25 School Money; Contingency Fund. Amend RSA 198:4-b, II to read as follows:\n\nII. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a school district by a vote of the legislative body may authorize, indefinitely until specific rescission, the school district to retain any unused portion of the year-end unassigned general funds, [ in an amount not to exceed, in any fiscal year, 2.5 percent of the current fiscal year's net assessment pursuant to RSA 198:5, for the purpose of having funds on hand to use as a revenue source for emergency expenditures and overexpenditures under RSA 32:11, or to be used as a revenue source to reduce the tax rate] from the preceding fiscal year in subsequent fiscal years, provided that the total amount of year-end unassigned general funds does not exceed, in any fiscal year, 5 percent of the current fiscal year's net assessment under RSA 198:5.\n\n(a) Prior to expending retained general funds, the school board shall hold a prior public hearing on the action to be taken with such funds. Notice of the time, place, and subject of such hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the relevant municipality at least 7 days before the meeting is held.\n\n(b) An annual accounting and report of the activities of the retained general funds shall be presented to the school board of the district and published in the annual report.\n\n38:26 Short Title. Sections 27 through 30 of this act shall be known as the Children's System of Care in Schools Act of 2020.\n\n38:27 Purpose Statement. The general court recognizes that the ongoing mental health, substance misuse, and child protection crises have taken a significant toll on New Hampshire\u2019s children, families, and taxpayers and New Hampshire schools are challenged daily to support the behavioral health needs of students while promoting academic achievement for all students. In response, many New Hampshire school districts are using an evidenced-based prevention framework to support the behavioral health and wellness of all students, called multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness, or MTSS-B. MTSS-B is an integral part of building a coordinated, comprehensive, and community-based system of care as required under RSA 135-F and a key strategy to keep children in their home schools and communities. There is evidence which demonstrates that high-fidelity implementation of the framework is directly correlated with reduced exclusionary discipline shown through reduced student discipline referrals, enhanced overall behavioral health, enhanced attendance, improved academic achievement, and enhanced school climate. The framework does not prescribe a particular strategy or curriculum for school districts, but rather offers school districts the support and ability to choose what works for their own communities.\n\n38:28 New Subparagraph; System of Care for Children's Mental Health; Characteristics of the System of Care; Use of MTSS-B. Amend RSA 135-F:3, III by inserting after subparagraph (k) the following new subparagraph:\n\n(l) Statewide use of the multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness, or MTSS-B, in New Hampshire schools to address New Hampshire students' social, emotional, and behavioral health needs in order to improve students\u2019 educational outcomes and keep students in their home schools and communities. For the purposes of this chapter, a \"multi-tiered system of supports for behavioral health and wellness\" or \"MTSS-B\" shall include:\n\n(1) A school wide system of evidence-based behavioral practices for all students;\n\n(2) A targeted system of practices for youth who need additional support; and\n\n(3) A tertiary system of intensive and individualized interventions for students with the greatest behavioral needs.\n\n38:29 System of Care for Children's Mental Health; Duties of the Commissioner of the Department of Education. Amend RSA 135-F:5 to read as follows:\n\n135-F:5 Duties of Commissioner of the Department of Education. The commissioner of the department of education shall:\n\nI. To the extent possible within existing statutory and budgetary constraints, [ modify the policies and practices of the department of education to support establishment of a system of care; and] support the system of care established under this chapter through:\n\n(a) The development of a multi-tiered system of supports for New Hampshire schools and support for school districts implementing MTSS-B through technical assistance and professional development, including the use of external consultation training and coaching services.\n\n(b) Alignment of federal funding to support local school districts implementing a multi-tiered system of support.\n\n(c) Technical assistance to local school districts regarding the use of federal funds to implement and maintain MTSS-B.\n\n(d) Technical assistance to local school districts on the use of research- and data-driven decision-making, organized and shared leadership, support for personnel through embedded professional development, and purposefully planned implementation cycles with continuous evaluation for improvement of outcomes.\n\nII.

Amend RSA 135-F:7, I(d)(2) to read as follows:\n\n(2) Provision of technical assistance to support development of coordinated services by [ school districts, other education providers,] area agencies, community mental health centers, and other entities participating in the system of care.\n\n(3) Provision of technical assistance to school districts and other education providers to support implementation of MTSS-B.\n\n38:31 Background Check; School Bus Drivers.
