Amends and adds to existing law regarding public charter schools.

Proposed amendments to Chapter 53, Title 33 provide for additional transparency regarding the management of charter schools as well as allowing for a streamlined process for charter holders to replicate high achieving charter schools. Specific amendments would specify that the non-profit corporation authorized to organize and manage one or more charter schools may not operate enterprises other than public charter schools, but can contract with other organizations to provide administrative and program services; clarify that a single non-profit may hold multiple charters; outline the process for replication of effective charter schools; and add the defined terms "charter holder" and "educational services provider."
