Massachusetts H728 amends charter school fiscal impact and accountability rules.

Massachusetts H728 modifies the fiscal impact and accountability of charter schools. It prevents the state from requiring charter schools or districts to reimburse for tuition amounts and stops the state treasurer from deducting these amounts from state school aid. The bill also changes the criteria for charter renewals to include the projected financial impact on sending districts and mandates public comment periods before renewal votes. It further stipulates that charter schools cannot add seats from districts that have moved out of the lowest 10 percent unless specific conditions are met.
