Amends the District of Columbia School Reform Act to give preference to students from closed schools in charter school admissions.
The bill amends the District of Columbia School Reform Act of 1995 to require charter schools to offer admission preference to students who attended a closed school during the current or preceding school year. This preference applies to students from schools closed by voluntary charter relinquishment, emergency revocation, or other recognized closures. The act also maintains existing preferences for siblings or children of current students and founding board members, with enrollment limits. The bill takes effect after approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
