A bill for an act relating to charter schools and innovation zone schools, including by modifying provisions related to charter school funding and operations, services provided to charter schools by area education agencies, charter school contracts, and charter school student participation in extracurricular activities provided by public schools, striking provisions allowing for the establishment of innovation zone schools, and including applicability provisions.

This bill modifies Iowa's charter school laws by eliminating innovation zone schools entirely and centralizing authorization under the state board of education. It requires charter schools to operate as nonprofits, mandates specific curriculum resources (like math plans and civics tests), and ensures charter school students can participate in public school extracurricular activities. The bill directly affects charter schools, school districts, and students by changing how charter schools are authorized, funded, and required to provide educational services. Key provisions include the state board as the sole authorizer, new requirements for math and civics resources, and removing all references to innovation zone schools from the code.
