Bill Summary

Revising charter school eligibility requirements; providing school district requirements for the distribution of capital outlay funds to eligible charter schools; requiring that any purchase, lease-purchase, or lease be at the appraised value, etc.

AI Summary

This bill revises the eligibility requirements for charter schools to receive capital outlay funding, including requiring them to have been in operation for at least 2 years, be accredited, have satisfactory student achievement, and attest that unencumbered funds and property will revert to the sponsor if the charter is not renewed or is terminated. The bill also changes the calculation methodology used by the Department of Education to allocate state funds for eligible charter schools, and requires school districts to distribute a gradually increasing percentage of discretionary millage revenue to eligible charter schools. Additionally, the bill specifies that any purchase, lease-purchase, or lease by a charter school must be at the appraised value as determined by an independent, state-licensed appraiser.
