What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a school board may enter into a contract with an individual,

group, business, or governmental body to establish a charter school, which operates

with fewer constraints than traditional public schools. Current law also permits the

University of Wisconsin (UW) Milwaukee, UW-Parkside, the Milwaukee Area

Technical College, and the city of Milwaukee to operate charter schools (independent

charter schools) directly or to contract for the operation of charter schools.

This bill requires a school board or other entity that has contracted with a

person to operate a charter school to amend the contract or enter into a new contract

with the operator to allow the operator to establish an additional charter school if,

in the school report published by the Department of Public Instruction for the two

most recent school years, each of the charter schools operated by the person in this

state received a rating of "significantly exceeds expectations" or "exceeds

expectations."
