New York S00527 would limit charter schools to serving grades within a single school classification.

New York S00527 amends the education law to revise charter schools by restricting them to serving grades within a single school classification. This means that a charter school cannot serve grades that fall into more than one of the following classifications: elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high, or high school. The bill aims to ensure that charter schools focus on a specific educational level rather than spanning multiple classifications. This change would apply to any revisions submitted to a charter entity after June 1, 2026.
