  • Teacher and administrator preparation and effectiveness
  • Instruction and environment
  • Transitions and continuity
  • Family engagement
  • Governance and funding

The Council is specifically charged with reviewing the recommendations developed by DHHS and DPI pursuant to Session Law 2017-57, Senate Bill 257, Section 7.23I.(a). Establish B-3 Interagency Council.
