RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 93 (SB 95) 2021 Regular Session Bouie
Prior law provided for the return of certain charter schools from the Recovery School District
(RSD) to the transferring local school system.
Prior law required 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.
New law retains prior law.
Prior law provided 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 provided 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.
New 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 (June 4, 2021).
