What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the limit on the total number of charter schools that may

be authorized by the College of Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles

Ojibwa Community College. Under current law, the total number of charter schools

that the College of Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa

Community College may authorize is six.

Under current law, the Office of Educational Opportunity in the University of

Wisconsin System, the City of Milwaukee, the chancellor of an institution in the UW

System, a technical college district board, the county executive of Waukesha County,

the College of Menominee Nation, and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community

College may contract with a person to operate a charter school. A charter school

authorized by one of these entities is commonly known as an independent charter

school. Current law does not limit the number of charter schools that may be

authorized by independent charter school authorizers other than the College of

Menominee Nation and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College.
