Enact the Charter School Oversight Act

HB 581 establishes a new oversight framework for community schools by requiring the Department of Education and Workforce to create a public online system that compares student performance data between these schools and their local districts or statewide averages. The bill also mandates that parents and guardians be informed of a community school's most recent state report card results when their child enrolls from a traditional district. Additionally, it restricts the department from sponsoring new community schools if a current sponsor chooses not to renew their contract or if the school is declared unauditable.
