Adds a provision that when a revision of a charter involves the relocation of a charter school to a different school district, the proposed new school district must be given at least 45 days notice of the proposed relocation. Requires the applicant to additionally provide an analysis of the community support for such relocation and of the projected programmatic and fiscal impact of the charter school on the proposed new school district of location and other public and nonpublic schools in the area.
Increases the number of charters that may be issued from 100 to 200. Increases the number of charters that may be approved by the board of trustees of the state university of New York from 50 to 100. Provides that of the 100 charters that may be approved by other authorizers, up to fifty must be reserved for the New York City district.
Provides that before a charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building, the charter entity must provide notice to the parents of students then enrolled in the existing school building, and must hold a public hearing to discuss the location of the charter school.
Adds provision that charter schools must demonstrate good faith efforts to attract and retain a comparable or greater enrollment of students with disabilities and limited English proficient students when compared to the enrollment figures for such students in the school district in which the charter school is located.
Extends from two to three years the leave of absence a teacher employed by a school district may take to teach at a charter school.
Requires each charter entity to notify the school district in which the charter is located and to public and nonpublic schools in the same geographic area as the proposed charter school within 30 days of its receipt of an application for formation of a new charter school or for renewal of an existing charter school, and at least 45 days prior to initial approval of the charter application by the charter entity.
Requires the school district in which a charter school is to be located to hold a public hearing to solicit comments from the community prior to the issuance, revision, or renewal of a charter. Requires such hearing to be held in the community potentially impacted by the proposed charter school. When a revision involves the relocation of a charter school to a different school district, requires the proposed new school district to also hold such hearing. Also requires such school districts to be given an opportunity to comment on the proposed charter to the charter entity, and requires such charter entity to consider any comments raised and submit any such comments to the board of regents with the application for issuance, revision or renewal of a charter. Provides that in the event the school district fails to conduct a public hearing, the board of regents must conduct a public hearing to solicit comments from the community regarding the issuance, revision or renewal of a charter.
Requires that the measures included in the charter school's annual charter school report card (which include, at a minimum, graduation rates, dropout rates, performance of students on standardized tests, college entry rates, total spending per pupil and administrative spending per pupil) be presented in a format that is easily comparable to similar public schools. Also requires the charter school to ensure that such information is easily accessible to the community.
Requires that the board of regents' annual report on charter schools to the governor and heads of the senate and assembly include a list of all actions taken by a charter entity on charter application and the rationale for the renewal or revocation of any charters. Requires that the format for this annual report be developed in consultation with representatives of school districts and charter school officials.
