AI Summary

This bill allows commonwealth charter schools to voluntarily offer enrollment preferences to certain high-need students, such as students with special needs, English learners, or other at-risk students. These enrollment preferences would apply to both 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 defining the specific student subgroups eligible for these enrollment preferences, which must include students with Emergency Resettlement Status.
