Bill > A04924

This bill requires charter schools to notify parents or legal guardians within two weeks if the school receives a corrective action plan or is granted a short-term renewal of less than five years from its charter authorizer. The notification must be sent via postal mail and must include details about the school's corrective action plan to remain open. In cases of dual custody, schools must send written notice to both parents if their addresses are on file. The bill defines charter schools using the existing definition in education law and aims to increase transparency by ensuring parents are informed about their child's school's performance and potential challenges. By mandating timely and direct communication, the legislation seeks to keep parents fully informed about the status and potential risks facing their children's charter schools.
