     3    (a-4)  The  board  of  trustees of a charter school shall use the same

     5  district in which such charter school resides.
     6    §  2.  Paragraph  (d)  and (e) of subdivision 1 of section 2855 of the
     7  education law, subdivision (d) as amended and subdivision (e)  as  added
     8  by  chapter 101 of the laws of 2010, are amended and a new paragraph (f)
     9  is added to read as follows:

    10    (d) When the public employment relations board makes  a  determination
    11  that the charter school demonstrates a practice and pattern of egregious

    14  nation against employee rights  under  article  fourteen  of  the  civil

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD04570-01-3

     3  outreach to parents and families in the surrounding communities,  widely
     4  publicizing  the  lottery  for  such school, and efforts to academically
     5  support such students in such charter school, then the charter entity or
     6  board of regents may retain such charter[.]; or

     7    (f) When a charter school fails to  demonstrate  compliance  with  the
     8  same  teacher  evaluation  standards as established in the public school
     9  district in which such charter school resides, as  such  requirement  is
    10  set  forth  in  paragraph  (a-4) of subdivision three of section twenty-
