Requires the authorization to establish a charter school in Boone County to be approved by a vote of the school district voters

HB 297 requires school district voters in Boone County to approve any new charter school through a public vote before it can be established. Specifically, for counties with 150,000-200,000 residents like Boone County, a proposal must be submitted to voters in the next available election before July 1st, using a specific ballot question asking if the district should authorize a charter school. A majority vote in favor is needed for authorization; if rejected, the proposal cannot proceed without resubmission. This directly affects Boone County residents and school districts by adding community consent as a mandatory step for charter school expansion.
