  (a) Upon the approval of a charter by the board of regents, the  board
of  regents  shall incorporate the charter school as an education corpo-

this article, the certificate of incorporation  of  the  charter  school
shall be revoked by the board of regents pursuant to section two hundred
nineteen  of  this chapter, provided that compliance with the notice and

this  article shall be deemed to satisfy the notice and hearing require-
ments of such section two hundred nineteen. It shall be the duty of  the
trustees  of  the  charter school to obtain federal tax-exempt status no
