Under current law, every year, the department of education (department) is required to prepare a report and evaluation on the successes or failures of charter schools, school reform efforts, and suggested changes to laws affecting charter schools. Beginning in the 2024-25 budget year, the bill requires the department to:
Report additional school district information, that primarily compares district charter schools or institute charter schools located within the school district to traditional district schools, and report information relating to a school district that has no charter schools; and
Publicly post the additional information on the department's website, with explanations in plain and easy-to-understand language.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
