The state's Independent Regulatory Review Commission on Monday approved changes to the state's 25-year-old charter school law.
Members of the Independent Regulatory Review Commiission on Monday voted 3-2 to approve charter school regulations. Shown here from left are Commissioners John Mizner, chairman George Bedwick, Murray Ufberg and John J. Soroko. Commissioner Dennis Watson participated in the meeting by telephone.
That law has remained relatively unchanged, except for a 2002 addition to recognize the advent of cyber charter schools, despite numerous failed efforts by the legislature to modify and update it. The approved regulations set minimum requirements for information required in a charter school application. They require charter schools to post their non-discriminatory enrollment and student selection policies.
The three commissioners who supported the regulations indicated that they saw the regulations as in the public’s best interest and an incremental change in a law to eliminate some of the confusion that has arisen with the law’s implementation.
