An Act ensuring charter school integrity

SD 191, titled "An Act ensuring charter school integrity," directly affects charter schools and the governing board by adding new requirements to their oversight. The bill mandates that charter schools provide written confirmation within 30 days of approval that they meet all legal requirements, bans schools from offering money or gifts to attract students, and clarifies that charters can be revoked for failing to meet conditions, violating their charter, or if the board breaches regulations. It also establishes a strict process for waivers of regulations, requiring written requests, a detailed explanation, and a 2/3 board vote for exceptions. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in charter school operations.
