Moratorium on the formation of new charter schools establishment

This bill imposes a two-year pause on approving new charter schools in Minnesota, effective July 1, 2025, through July 1, 2027. It directly affects school authorizers and organizations seeking to establish new charter schools or expand existing ones by prohibiting the commissioner from approving new charters or additions to grades/sites during this period. Existing charter school plans approved before July 1, 2025, may continue as planned. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to create this temporary moratorium on new charter school authorizations.
