Relates to the enrollment of students at charter schools, the suspension of students at charter schools and the administration of charter schools
This bill amends New York State's education law to strengthen oversight of charter schools. It requires charter schools to follow specific disciplinary procedures (including due process for suspensions exceeding five days), provide detailed facility location information in applications, and undergo annual audits by independent accountants. Charter schools must meet student achievement goals, maintain enrollment/suspension rates comparable to their district, and avoid "pushing students out" to qualify for renewal. The changes directly affect all New York charter schools by setting clearer operational standards and accountability measures.
