AN  ACT  to  amend  the  education  law, in relation to the location and
  management of charter schools and the enrollment of students at  char-
  ter schools

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent.  New  York's  charter  school  law  was
enacted  eleven  years  ago in an effort to create new learning opportu-
nities for all students, to encourage different and innovative  teaching
methods  and to provide parents and students with expanded choice within
the public schools. Eleven years provides the state with enough informa-
tion to make judgments about changes that  are  needed  in  the  law  to
ensure  the  public  knows  how their tax dollars are being spent and to
ensure  public  schools  serving  the  majority  of  students  have  the
resources  needed  to  provide a quality education to all students. This
legislation is intended to clarify the transparency  and  accountability
of  charter  schools  and  provide fiscal relief to the school districts
where charter schools are located.
  S 2. Subdivision 1 of section 2851 of the education law, as amended by
chapter 101 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
  1. An application to establish a charter school may  be  submitted  by
teachers,  parents,  school  administrators,  community residents or any
combination thereof.  Such application may be filed in conjunction  with
a  college,  university, museum, educational institution, not-for-profit
corporation exempt from taxation under paragraph 3 of subsection (c)  of
section  501  of  the  internal  revenue  code or for-profit business or
corporate entity authorized to do business in New York  state.  Provided
however, for-profit business or corporate entities shall not be eligible
to  submit  an  application  to  establish  a charter school pursuant to
subdivision nine-a of section twenty-eight  hundred  fifty-two  of  this

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
