BILL NUMBER:S8001
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to charter schools
Purpose or general idea of the bill
The purpose of this bill is to provide for a technical clarification regarding the approval and issuance process for charters.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill clarifies that for charters issued pursuant to a competitive request for proposals process pursuant to section 2852(9-a) of the Education Law, applications would be deemed approved and issued pursuant to the requirements in current law provided for in sections 2852(5)(2852 (5-a)(and 2852 (5-b) of the Education Law.
Justification
Under existing law the board of trustees of the state university of New York (SUNY Trustees) is an autonomous, independent authorizer. The Board of Regents serves the administrative role of issuing charters approved by SUNY.
This bill would provide for a clarification to the approval and issuance process for charters issued pursuant to the competitive request for proposals established pursuant to A.11310. As such, SUNY recommended charter applications will continue to be deemed approved and issued pursuant to the requirements in current law provided for in sections 2852(5), (2852(5-a)(and 2852(5-b) of the Education Law - which estab- lishes the duty of the Board of Regents to approve and issue charter applications submitted to them by SUNY.
It is also the intent of the sponsors that any charters provided for in this bill remaining to be issued after 2013 shall be permitted to be issued until the cap is reached.
