Bill Summary
This act would allow charter schools to engage in nontraditional approaches to learning, which must be reviewed by the department of education, and would also require that seats allocated to a charter school, whose charter has not been renewed, be reallocated to a school which offers nontraditional approaches and methods to learning. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill allows charter schools to implement nontraditional learning methods, moving away from rote memorization and focusing on progressive, student-centered, and task-based approaches, provided these methods are reviewed and approved by the Rhode Island department of education to ensure they are a sufficient alternative to traditional education. Additionally, if a charter school's charter is not renewed, the student seats previously allocated to that school will be reassigned to another school that is authorized to offer these nontraditional learning approaches. The bill also specifies that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
