Bill > S298

This bill proposes to amend the existing law to require local approval for the establishment of commonwealth charter schools. Specifically, it defines "local approval" as an affirmative action taken by a majority vote of a locally elected school committee or, in districts with appointed school committees, an affirmative action approved by the city council and the school committee's appointing authority. The bill also states that applications for commonwealth charter schools that do not receive local approval will require a majority vote of the board to be approved, and that such approved schools will not be eligible for district impact mitigation funding or have their student enrollment included in the school district's foundation budget.
