SB 411 Charter schools.
Introduced by: Warren E. Barry | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Charter schools. Clarifies that school divisions may authorize the creation of regional charter schools to be operated and chartered by two or more participating school boards and emphasizes that charter schools are public schools. This bill also clarifies that charter schools, as public schools, are subject to the requirements of the Standards of Quality, including the Standards of Learning and the Standards of Accreditation, and directs each local school board to provide public notice by December 31, 2000, of its intent to accept or not to accept applications for charter schools. The requirement that no more than two charter schools per school division be approved prior to July 1, 2000, has been deleted. Finally, the bill provides that charter schools will not be reported in fall membership for purposes of calculating the state and local shares required to fund the Standards of Quality if the enrollment at the charter school is less than 100 students and constitutes less than five percent of the total enrollment of the relevant grades in that school division. This bill is nearly identical to HB 785.
