LC 1212 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws related to public charter schools

This bill revises Montana's public charter school laws by clarifying definitions and streamlining the application process. It requires the Office of Public Instruction to provide fiscal analysis during charter school applications and directs the Board of Public Education to limit costs while prioritizing proposals focused on personalized and proficiency-based learning. The legislation also removes the board's ability to waive statutory requirements in charter contracts and allows charter school districts to access public funding and donations through the Innovative Education Tax Credit Program. Additionally, it establishes financial obligations for a child's resident school district when serving students with disabilities through a charter school district.
