Bill Summary
Relative to granting enrollment preference to commonwealth charter schools to certain high needs students. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase access for vulnerable students to Commonwealth charter schools. It allows these schools to voluntarily offer enrollment preferences to certain high-needs students, such as those with special needs, English learners, or other at-risk students. The enrollment preferences would apply both to students admitted through the lottery and those admitted off the waitlist. The bill also requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to promulgate regulations to define the specific student subgroups eligible for these enrollment preferences, which may include students with Emergency Resettlement Status.
