     4  children who are enrolled in charter schools or  whom  the  schools  are
     5  attempting  to recruit shall be notified when such schools may be placed
     6  on probation or receive a remedial action plan from the  charter  entity
     7  or regents.
     8    2. The term "charter school" shall have the same meaning as defined in
     9  this chapter.
