Charter school boards of directors and charter school chief administrators requirements modifications, local officials and charter school officials filing statements of economic interest requirement, and charter school officials inclusion in the public official gift ban provision
This bill modifies governance requirements for Minnesota charter schools. It requires charter school boards to include at least one licensed teacher, one parent/guardian of a student (not an employee), and one community member (who can't be an employee or have a child at the school). The bill also mandates that all charter school board members and chief administrators file economic interest statements within 60 days of taking office (or 14 days before board elections) and subjects them to the same public gift ban rules as other government officials. These changes apply directly to charter school leadership and governance structures.

MINOR
The bill was updated from its introduction to its first engrossment, reflecting legislative progress and minor text refinements. The most significant substantive change clarifies that compensation limits for charter school board members specifically apply only to those who are paid for their service, rather than all members. Additionally, the list of required board member qualifications was streamlined by removing a redundant residency requirement for community members.
REQUIREMENT
Clarified that compensation caps for charter school board members apply only to paid members, removing ambiguity for unpaid volunteers.
Removed a redundant clause stating that community members must reside in Minnesota, as this requirement already applies to all board members.
