The proposed bill unduly limits the ability of school districts to challenge state ratings and decisions through legal means. This excessive restriction on due process undermines accountability and democratic principles. School districts should maintain the right to seek judicial review when they disagree with the state's performance evaluations or decisions that impact their operations and funding. Curtailing this fundamental check on government overreach concentrates too much power in the hands of state authorities without sufficient oversight. I urge you to revise the legislation to protect the legal rights of local education agencies to ensure fairness, transparency, and a balanced system of checks and balances.
