Relates to applications for charter schools
This bill amends education law to add new requirements for charter school applications in school districts where over 5% of students already attend charter schools. It requires that (1) a proposed charter school must show it will provide significant educational benefit to its students, and (2) the school district or community school district must consent to the application. The law directly affects school districts with high charter school enrollment and charter school applicants seeking approval in those districts. The changes take effect immediately upon enactment.
