Relative to establishing a moratorium for charter schools. Education.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a temporary halt, known as a moratorium, on the state's board of education granting new charters to charter schools. Specifically, it suspends the board's authority to issue "commonwealth charters," which are public schools that operate independently of traditional school districts, until September 1, 2015. This means that during this period, no new charter schools will be approved in the Commonwealth.
