Massachusetts S352 amends charter school regulations to ensure integrity and compliance.

Massachusetts S352 amends charter school regulations to ensure integrity and compliance. The bill mandates the board to develop procedures for waiving regulations, only allowing such waivers for exceptional circumstances and requiring a written request. It prohibits charter schools from soliciting applications with monetary incentives. The board is authorized to revoke a charter if conditions are not met, provisions are violated, or if the board's actions are substantially flawed. The board must also confirm within 30 days of approval of a new charter school.
