SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Residential charter schools for at-risk students. Permits the creation of residential charter schools for at-risk students by a single school division or by two or more school divisions as a joint school. Applications for residential charter schools are to include a description of the residential program, facilities, and staffing; any parental education and after-care initiatives; funding sources for the residential and other services provided; and any counseling or other social services to be provided and their coordination with any current state or local initiatives. In addition, school boards are authorized to employ such health, mental health, social services, and other personnel for residential charter schools as contemplated in the charter agreement; however, there is no obligation for a school board to fund the residential or other services provided by a residential charter school. The conditions for funding the charter school will include funding for the educational program to be provided by the residential charter school for at-risk students. This measure as introduced, was a recommendation of the special subcommittee of the House Committee on Education examining residential academies for at-risk students.
