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

Overview: Section 7 of S.L. 2023-107 allows Central Park School for Children (CPSC) charter school to establish a pilot of up to four years to include additional lottery weighting factors related to admissions for economically disadvantaged students, including walk zones. This pilot does not change the school's charter. The CPSC charter is required to report to the Office of Charter Schools annually during the pilot on the weighted lottery procedures and number of students admitted under those procedures.

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.
