DIGEST
SB 215 Engrossed 2017 Regular Session Tarver
Present law provides relative to admission and enrollment requirements for each type of charter
school.
Proposed law provides that, notwithstanding present law or any process or policy adopted by a local
education agency, a charter school with a foreign immersion language mission may modify its
application and enrollment procedures and directly enroll the child of a faculty member who is
recruited from a foreign country to teach in the school, provided the child meets all mission-related
admission requirements. Further provides that such child will not be counted when determining the
enrollment capacity of a program, class, grade level, or school.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
