Bill > A04502

This bill amends the education law to provide the Board of Regents with final approval authority over all proposed and renewed charter schools. Specifically, it requires that any resubmitted proposed charter must incorporate all recommendations made by the Board of Regents to their satisfaction before it can be approved by the charter entity. The bill also removes the provision that gave automatic approval to certain resubmitted charters after 30 days. This change gives the Board of Regents the final say on whether a proposed or renewed charter school can be approved.
