SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Public charter schools. Allows certain amendments to the charter school statutes to sunset as provided in Chapter 530 of the Acts of Assembly of 2004 and retains others. Specifically, changes made in 2004 that require the charter school applicant to include (i) information regarding disclosures of any ownership or financial interest in the public charter school by the charter applicant and the governing body, administrators, and other personnel of the public charter school; and (ii) results of any Board of Education review of the public charter school application will remain. Additionally, the bill retains the provisions (i) permitting a public charter school applicant to submit its proposed charter application to the Board of Education for review and comment; (ii) directing school boards to give priority to applications designed to benefit at-risk pupils; and (iii) exempting the ownership or financial interest of members of the governing body, administrators, and other personnel serving in a public charter school in renovating, lending, granting or leasing public charter school facilities from the prohibition of certain contracts by other officers and employees of local governmental agencies.
