Bill > SF2257

This bill establishes a two-year moratorium on the creation of new charter schools in Minnesota, effective from July 1, 2025, through July 1, 2027. During this period, the state's education commissioner will be prohibited from approving new charter school affidavits or supplemental affidavits that would add grades or sites to existing charter schools. However, authorizers who have already received approval for a charter school before July 1, 2025, will be allowed to continue their planning activities and proceed with opening their approved schools or adding planned grades and sites as originally intended. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124E.06, by adding a new subdivision that outlines these restrictions. The moratorium aims to pause the expansion of charter schools in the state, though the specific rationale for this temporary halt is not provided in the bill text. The legislation would become effective the day after its final enactment.
