Bill > SB1358

This bill amends Arizona's charter school law to clarify and expand the decision-making authority and access rights of charter school representatives, governing body members, and other key stakeholders. Specifically, the bill adds a new section (subsection JJ) that grants these individuals certain rights, including unrestricted access to charter school campuses, students, and student records, as well as the authority to make final decisions regarding student learning and school safety. The bill also provides detailed definitions for terms like "charter representative" and "charter school governing body member," specifying that these roles include individuals who can execute contracts, represent the charter holder, manage operations, and potentially hold ownership or voting rights in the charter school. This legislation aims to provide more clarity and empowerment to those involved in the governance and management of charter schools, potentially giving them more direct involvement in key educational and operational decisions.
