In1998,theLegislaturecreatedpubliccharterschoolsinIdaho. Sincethattime,manyrequirementsandsteps have been added to the process of opening new charter schools. None have been removed. This has resulted in a duplicative, burdensome and often confusing process for new schools and authorizers alike. This bill would streamline the opening procedures for new charter schools by simplifying the process, compressing the timeline and clarifying expectations for schools and authorizers, while at the same time maintaining a high standard of review for petitions.
