HB495

Pennsylvania HB495 amends charter school enrollment rules to prevent caps on students from outside the charter school's district.

Pennsylvania HB495 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to modify enrollment rules for charter schools. The bill ensures that charter schools cannot be subject to enrollment caps or limits imposed by local boards of school directors, boards of control, or other governing authorities, unless agreed to in the charter. It specifically prohibits charter schools from enrolling students from outside the district where the charter school is physically located, or for regional charter schools, from outside the district where the regional charter school is chartered.
