Clarifies the definition of existing public school buildings for charter school placement purposes.

This bill amends the education law to clarify that an existing public school building is defined as a building that is currently occupied or is unoccupied but designated for potential school use. This definition applies to the location of charter schools. Before a charter school can be located in part of an existing public school building, the charter entity must provide notice to the parents or guardians of students enrolled in the existing school building and hold a public hearing. The charter school may own, lease, or rent its space.
