SF 2773 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

All charter school closures overseen by a trustee requirement provision

SF 2773 requires charter school authorizers to appoint a qualified trustee within five business days when a charter school closes (due to voluntary action, nonrenewal, or termination). The trustee must be a Minnesota resident with specific education/experience, no conflicts of interest or criminal history, and must oversee closure processes. Key duties include helping families enroll students in new schools, managing student records transfers, ensuring financial audits, maintaining insurance, and handling legal dissolution requirements. This bill directly affects all Minnesota charter schools closing and their authorizing bodies, mandating structured oversight to protect students and manage transitions.
