SCH CD-CHARTER SCH-ADMIN FEES
What changed between versions
Removed the text abolishing the State Charter School Commission and transferring its powers to the State Board on July 1, 2020.
Revised the administrative fee section to specify that for locally authorized schools, the 3% fee cap applies to 'agreed funding' and explicitly states the withheld amount cannot drop the school's funding below the required minimum level.
Updated allowable uses for the administrative fee to include specific local oversight tasks like site visits and compliance reviews, while prohibiting use for general district operations.
Added a requirement for local school boards to provide an annual public accounting to both the charter school and the State Board detailing fee collections, allowable uses, and any returned unexpended funds.
Included provisions clarifying that all services (rent, transportation, etc.) must be negotiated between the school and the local board and paid from negotiated revenues.
Added a clause stating that funding agreements should not act as financial incentives or disincentives for establishing charter schools.
Added language defining how pupil enrollment affects the calculation of per capita funding for charter schools.
