Wrap: The bill sets up groups statewide to help students who are looking to transfer out of unaccredited school districts.

This bill now heads back House, which passed its version back in February.

Wrap: A bill designed to help students looking to escape unaccredited school districts passed the Senate Wednesday afternoon, setting up negotiations between the two chambers.

The legislation - which passed the House in February - was amended several times in the Senate earlier this week.

It now faces an up or down vote in the House, where lawmakers are expected to reject the Senate's changes.
