AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- MAYORAL ACADEMIES

SB 888 amends the law regarding mayoral academies, which are charter schools created by mayors or town administrators serving students from multiple communities. This bill specifies that only a mayor or, if there is no mayor, a town administrator from each participating city or town can be a voting member on a mayoral academy's board of directors or trustees. Other representatives from these communities may serve on the board in a non-voting, advisory capacity. This change directly affects the governance and decision-making structure of these specific charter schools.
