New York S00860 imposes conditions on the approval of charter school applications for converting existing public schools.

New York S00860 amends the education law to impose certain conditions on the approval of a charter school application for converting an existing public school. The bill adds a new paragraph to section 2851 of the education law, specifying that an application will not be approved if the school demonstrates a pattern of egregious or intentional violations of civil service law, particularly those involving interference with or discrimination against employee rights. This measure aims to ensure that schools converting to charter status do not have a history of such violations.
