Bill Summary
Relative to local approval for charter schools. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to require local approval for the establishment of charter schools in Massachusetts. It defines "local approval" as an action taken by a locally elected body, such as a school committee, town meeting, or city council, to authorize the allocation of local funds for a charter school. The bill states that only charter school applications that have received local approval from every town or school district expected to enroll students will be funded through the state's Chapter 70 education funding or other local funds. Applications that have received the required local approval must still comply with the applicable provisions for submitting a charter school application. The bill applies only to charter school applications submitted after the date it becomes effective.
