DIGEST
SB 95 Engrossed 2021 Regular Session Bouie
Present law provides for the return of certain charter schools from the Recovery School District
(RSD) to the transferring local school system.
Present law requires the local school superintendent to present recommendations to the local school
board regarding the approval, extension, renewal, or revocation of the charter for any charter school
under the board's jurisdiction.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law provides that the local superintendent may implement any recommendation regarding
the extension, renewal, or revocation of a charter of a charter school, unless it is rejected by a 2/3
vote of the full membership of the board. Further provides that board action to reject a
recommendation made by the local superintendent shall occur no later than the first board meeting
held after the meeting during which the recommendation was submitted to the board.
Proposed law removes the 2/3 vote requirement and the requirement that board action to reject the
local superintendent's recommendation must occur within 30 days after the meeting during which
the recommendation was submitted and instead provides that the local board shall vote on
recommendations made by the local superintendent regarding charter extension, renewal, or
revocation in accordance with board policy.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
