Bill > A06891

This bill modifies existing education law to place new restrictions on charter school grade expansions starting June 1, 2025. Specifically, the legislation prohibits charter schools from submitting revisions to their charters that would cause them to serve grade levels across more than one school classification (such as elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high, or high school) as defined by state commissioner regulations. The intent appears to be preventing charter schools from becoming too broad in their grade-level offerings and potentially complicating their administrative and educational structure. By limiting grade expansions to within a single school classification, the bill aims to maintain more focused and specialized educational environments within charter schools. The restrictions will apply to any proposed charter revisions submitted after the specified date, giving schools time to prepare for the new limitations.
