SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Charter schools. Directs local school boards to give priority to those public charter school applications targeting student populations served by schools that have not achieved full accreditation; currently, this priority consideration is limited to schools addressing at-risk students. In addition, individual school accreditation plans may be crafted for these schools. The measure also increases the maximum charter term approval or renewal from three to five years.

Finally, the measure creates the Charter Schools Assistance Program and Fund, funded by private donations and gifts, to be administered by the Board of Education, to provide grants on a competitive basis to school divisions approving charter applications and successful public charter school applicants for the construction and lease of facilities for public charter schools.
