Education: public school academies; certain authorizer and educational management organization information on school signage, advertising, and promotional materials; require. Amends sec. 1311e of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1311e).

This Michigan law updates regulations for strict discipline academies, which are publicly funded charter schools, by requiring more transparency in their contracts and public presence. It mandates that these schools include specific details about their educational goals, financial audits, and contract terms in their agreements with authorizing bodies like school districts. Additionally, the bill requires that the names of the authorizing entity and any management organization appear on the school's signage, promotional materials, website footers, and enrollment applications. The legislation also clarifies that if a school district rejects an application to run such an academy, interested parties can petition for a public vote by school electors to decide on the contract. Finally, the law ensures that employees of these academies covered by school district contracts are included in the same collective bargaining agreements as other district staff.
