H219 - Charter School Omnibus. (SL 2023-107)

Overview: Section 2 of S.L. 2023-107 revises the requirements related to increasing enrollment at charter schools. This section allows charter schools that are not low-performing to set their enrollment each year, rather than requiring supervision or approval by the State Board of Education (SBE). Charter schools that are low-performing can seek approval from the SBE to grow more than 20%.

This bill was vetoed by the Governor on July 21, 2023, and that veto was overridden by the General Assembly on August 16, 2023. This section of the act became effective August 16, 2023, and applies beginning with the 2023-2024 school year.
