Concerns charter school enrollment, student placements, reporting, and athletics.

This bill (A2322) updates New Jersey charter school rules to ensure fair enrollment, improve student transitions, and increase transparency. It requires charter schools to admit all students without discrimination using random selection (except for weighted lotteries to promote diversity), prohibits admission criteria beyond random selection, and mandates schools to make applications available in the seven most common non-English languages in their district. New requirements include appointing a student placement liaison to coordinate transitions for new and exiting students, conduct exit interviews for non-graduating students, and annually report exit reasons and placements to the state and school districts. These changes directly affect charter schools, students, and their home school districts by standardizing enrollment practices and tracking student movement.
