This bill provides that if a school board enters into an agreement with a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band to establish a charter school, the school must be located within the school district or within the boundaries of the tribe's or band's reservation.
The school board that establishes the charter school is responsible for determining whether the charter school is an instrumentality of the school district, for administering the statewide pupil assessments to pupils enrolled in the charter school, for specifying criteria for grade promotion and high school graduation for pupils enrolled in the charter school, and for ensuring that all instructional staff of the charter school hold a license or permit to teach issued by the Department of Public Instruction.
