Charter schools and charter school authorizers requirement to publish financial information

SF 1311 requires charter schools and their authorizers (the organizations that oversee them) to publish specific financial details online. The bill mandates that charter schools submit annual budgets to the state commissioner and post school budgets on their public websites, aligning with existing rules for traditional public schools. It also requires both charter schools and authorizers to publish their annual state and federal tax filings on their public websites. These requirements aim to increase financial transparency for parents, students, and the public regarding how charter school funds are managed.
