Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in charter schools, providing for moratorium on buildings.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a moratorium on property acquisition for cyber charter schools and their educational management service providers (EMSPs). Specifically, the legislation prohibits cyber charter schools from owning, purchasing, or leasing any property, and also prevents EMSPs from acquiring property on behalf of cyber charter schools. The moratorium begins on the bill's effective date, which is 60 days after enactment. Importantly, the restrictions do not apply to any properties already owned, purchased, or leased by cyber charter schools or their EMSPs prior to the bill's effective date. The bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 by adding a new section that explicitly outlines these property acquisition limitations. The purpose appears to be constraining the real estate activities of cyber charter schools and their management organizations, though the specific rationale is not provided in the text.
