Bill > S06770

This bill requires charter schools to notify parents or legal guardians when the school receives a corrective action plan or is given a short-term renewal of less than five years from their charter authorizer. The notification must be provided within two weeks of the school receiving such notice, and must be sent via postal mail. When providing notice, schools must disclose their corrective action plan for remaining open. In situations of dual custody, schools are required to send written notice to both parents if their addresses are on file. The bill defines "charter school" using the existing definition in the education law and applies to parents of currently enrolled students as well as potential students being recruited by the school. The legislation aims to increase transparency and keep parents informed about the academic and operational status of their children's charter schools. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
