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 charter holders. 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, ensuring that those with authority can effectively manage operations and compliance with relevant laws. The bill aims to enhance the governance structure of charter schools by clearly delineating the powers and responsibilities of these individuals.
