Bill > S00527

This bill modifies existing education law to restrict charter schools from expanding across multiple school classifications starting June 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill prohibits charter schools from submitting revisions to their charter that would allow them to serve grade levels spanning more than one school classification (such as elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high, or high school) as defined by the commissioner's regulations. By implementing this limitation, the bill aims to maintain clearer boundaries between different types of educational institutions and prevent charter schools from dramatically expanding their grade level coverage in a single revision. The restriction will apply to any proposed charter school revisions submitted after the specified date, potentially impacting how charter schools can grow and develop their educational programs across different grade levels.
