Provides that the State Board of Education shall have the necessary powers to promote sound management of Illinois public schools. Allows the State Board to certify that a school district, other than the Chicago school district, is in management difficulty if the school district has been engaged in a continuing and repeated pattern of documented and substantiated mismanagement. Under certain circumstances, allows the State Board to require the development of a school district management improvement plan, advise a school district on recommended or suggested methods of improving managerial success, and appoint a Management Oversight Panel for the school district. Sets forth provisions concerning the composition and duties of a Management Oversight Panel and allows for a combined Management Oversight Panel and Financial Oversight Panel in certain circumstances. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
