Modifies procedures for student enrollment in charter school to require use of lottery selection process; requires charter school admission policy to seek enrollment of student demographics of charter school district of residence.

This bill (A3108) requires New Jersey charter schools to use a lottery system for enrolling students who reside in the charter school's district of residence when applications exceed available spaces. It mandates that charter schools' enrollment policies actively seek to reflect the district's student demographics, including race, ethnicity, lunch program eligibility, special education needs, and other academic factors. Charter schools must annually report enrollment demographics to the state education department by October 15 and post the data online, while also maintaining and reporting waiting list demographics. Unlike current law - which only triggers a lottery during oversubscription - the bill makes the lottery mandatory for district-resident applicants regardless of demand.
