New Jersey S143 allows charter schools to limit admission to single gender, at-risk students, students with disabilities, or English language.

New Jersey S143 amends current law to allow charter schools to limit admission to specific groups, including single gender, students at-risk of academic failure, students with disabilities, or English language learners. This bill modifies the existing provision that permits charter schools to limit admission to particular grade levels or areas of concentration. The charter school must establish reasonable criteria for evaluating prospective students, which will be detailed in the school's charter. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
