S 6800 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Removes the board of trustees of the state university of New York as a charter entity; repealer

This bill removes the State University of New York (SUNY) board of trustees from the list of entities authorized to approve charter school applications in New York. It specifically deletes SUNY's role as a "charter entity" in education law, leaving only local school district boards (with geographic limits) and the Board of Regents as approval authorities. The change streamlines the charter school approval process by eliminating SUNY as a potential reviewer, affecting how new charter schools and school conversions are evaluated.
