Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS; AMENDING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL CODE TO CLARIFY A CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORITY'S DUTIES RELATIVE TO AUTHORIZATION OF A CHARTER SCHOOL TO BE LOCATED IN A DISTRICT OF A CERTAIN SIZE WITH A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN ALREADY ESTABLISHED CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code to clarify the authority of a charter school to be located in a school district with a total student enrollment (MEM) of 1,300 or less. It specifies that in such districts, the total charter school MEM cannot exceed 10% of the district's total MEM, unless the district's board of education waives this limitation or the district already had more than 10% charter school MEM in the 2016-2017 school year. The bill also makes other changes related to the charter school application process, such as requiring notification of intent to apply, setting deadlines, and outlining the chartering authority's responsibilities in reviewing and ruling on applications.
