Bill > H385

This bill proposes to change how students enroll in charter schools, which are publicly funded schools that operate independently of traditional school districts. Specifically, it would establish an "opt-out admissions lottery process" for enrollment in commonwealth charter schools. This means that instead of parents having to actively apply for their child to be considered, all eligible students would automatically be included in a lottery for admission. The bill also states that the tuition payment for these schools would need to be adjusted if students are unable to attend due to a lack of necessary services.
