Permits charter school to limit admission to single gender, students at-risk of academic failure, students with disabilities, or English language learners.

This bill (S 143) amends New Jersey's charter school law to allow charter schools to limit admissions based on four specific categories: single gender, students at-risk of academic failure, students with disabilities, or English language learners. Currently, charter schools could only limit admissions by grade level or academic concentration (like math or arts), but this change expands those options. The bill requires schools to outline any admission criteria in their charter and maintains existing bans on discrimination based on ability, disability, or language proficiency. It directly affects enrollment opportunities for students fitting these four categories in participating charter schools.
