2025 Charter Schools Review Board Omnibus

Introduced·3/27/25

North Carolina H556 revises charter school regulations, including approval of state rules, funding, teacher evaluations, and remote charter academies.

North Carolina H556 establishes the North Carolina Charter Schools Review Board to approve all state rules related to charter schools. The Review Board will also have the authority to hire legal counsel. Charter schools are exempt from reporting class rank on student transcripts and can use alternate teacher evaluations. Low-performing charter schools must report improvement plans to the Review Board. The bill allows charter schools with remote academies enrolling 250 or more students to request a separate charter for the remote academy through an expedited process.
