Concerns charter school enrollment, student placements, reporting, and athletics.
This New Jersey bill (S 2643) amends charter school laws to clarify enrollment rules, student placements, and reporting requirements. It requires charter schools to admit all students without discrimination (except for grade-level or program-specific limits), prioritize local students with random selection for oversubscribed seats, and establish procedures for non-resident enrollment. The bill also mandates charter schools to appoint student placement liaisons who track student transitions, conduct exit interviews for non-graduating students, and report exit data (like reasons for leaving) in annual reports. The bill was withdrawn after becoming law as P.L.2025, c.276.
