A 7115 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Removes the board of trustees of the state university of New York as a charter entity; repealer

This bill removes the State University of New York (SUNY) board of trustees from its role as a charter entity for approving charter schools. It amends education law to make the Board of Regents the sole entity authorized to issue charters, eliminating SUNY as an option. This change directly affects school districts applying for charter status and SUNY, which no longer holds this approval authority. The bill focuses on procedural changes to the charter school application process without altering charter school operations or student eligibility.
