The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to charter schools by granting specific access and decision-making authority to charter representatives, charter school governing body members, and officers, directors, members, and partners of a charter holder. Under the new provisions, these individuals would have access to student records, unrestricted access to school campuses, and the authority to make final decisions regarding both student learning and safety on campus. This access is contingent upon the charter holder's approval.

Additionally, the bill introduces definitions for key terms such as "charter representative," "charter school governing body member," and "officer, director, member or partner of a charter holder." These definitions clarify the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in charter school governance, including their authority to execute contracts and represent the charter holder in compliance matters. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the operational authority of charter school leaders while ensuring accountability and compliance with existing laws.
