Relates to imposing certain conditions on the approval of a charter school application
This bill (S 860) blocks the approval of charter school applications when converting an existing public school, if the school has a documented pattern of serious violations of civil service laws protecting employee rights. Specifically, it prevents approval if the school interfered with or discriminated against employees under state labor rules, as determined by the Public Employment Relations Board. The law requires that such violations must be resolved before a new application can be submitted in the future. It directly affects public schools seeking to convert to charter status by adding a new eligibility condition based on past labor practices.
