Title

Local boards of education urged to decide whether to register or not register as charter school authorizers by Sept. 1, 2015

Summary

SR110 urges Alabama local boards of education to decide by September 1, 2015 whether to register as charter school authorizers and asks for careful rulemaking before appeals.

What This Bill Does

This Senate resolution does not create new laws by itself. It asks local boards to decide by a set deadline whether they will register as charter school authorizers under Act 2015-3 and to prepare accordingly if they choose to register. It also directs the Alabama Public Charter School Commission to take enough time to develop rules before handling appeals from charter applications denied at the local level. If a local board declines to register, startup charter applications in that district would be denied and applicants may apply directly to the commission.

Who It Affects

• Local boards of education in Alabama: must decide by September 1, 2015 whether to register as charter school authorizers, which affects whether they review and approve charter applications or deny them.
• Charter school applicants within districts that do not register: startup applications within those districts would be denied, with potential recourse to apply to the Alabama Public Charter School Commission.

Key Provisions

• Urges local boards of education to decide and notify by September 1, 2015 whether to register or not register as charter school authorizers.
• If a local board chooses not to register, all startup charter school applications within that district shall be denied and applicants may apply directly to the Alabama Public Charter School Commission.
• Urges the Alabama Public Charter School Commission to take sufficient time to develop its rules before being required to hear appeals from applications denied at the local level.
