BILL NUMBER: A1986
 
SPONSOR: Jean-Pierre
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to disallowing an appli- cation for a charter school to be approved if a school district is under the supervision of a state monitor or fiscal monitor   PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to allow distressed school districts that are under the supervision of a state monitor time to recover and reor- ganize without further complications.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. provides that no application for a charter may be approved if a state monitor or fiscal monitor is operating in such school district Section 2. is the enacting clause.   JUSTIFICATION: Distressed school districts that are under the supervision of a state monitor or fiscal monitor are in a distressed situation which places them in a fragile position. Additional complications from outside actors may only further destabilize a delicate situation. The recovery of the school district in a timely manner is the most important goal. By limit- ing additional considerations the state monitor or fiscal monitor can focus on their primary mission of rehabilitating the school district and returning local control.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
