A 2944 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Modifies various aspects of charter school program including student enrollment procedures, revocation of charter, monitoring of charter schools, and collaboration between school districts and charter schools.

This bill modifies New Jersey's charter school program by implementing new enrollment procedures, accountability measures, and reporting requirements. It requires charter schools to use a lottery system for student enrollment (with specific rules for district residents), mandates annual demographic reporting on student enrollment, and establishes new grounds for charter revocation including failure to meet performance standards or engage in discriminatory practices. The bill also requires charter schools to submit budgets for review, creates new requirements for collaboration between school districts and charter schools, and mandates that charter schools be evaluated under the New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum. These changes aim to increase transparency, accountability, and equitable enrollment practices in the charter school program.
