2:35 PM -- Bill E

Senator Windels brought Bill E before the committee and indicated that Bill E is primarily a "clean up" bill for charter school provisions, with very little in regard to new substance (Attachment F). Julie Pelegrin, Office of Legislative Legal Services, walked the committee through the provisions of Bill E and indicated that there would be a potential amendment for the committee to consider. She said that the goal was to align and clarify terms for an accounting school district and to clarify at-risk funding for qualifying school districts. The bill relocates provisions concerning funding, administrative overhead costs, and the purchase of services for specified charter schools.


02:47 PM

Ms. Pelegrin reviewed provisions for a potential amendment, L.001, which was provided to the committee (Attachment G). She said that the amendment clarifies the application of "central administrative overhead costs" for district charter schools. There was discussion about the differences in provisions for overhead costs for the charter school institute and for the central administrative overhead costs for school districts.


2:51 PM

Senator Windels moved to approve Bill E, as amended, as a recommendation to the Legislative Council.
