EFFECT: Repeals the charter school commission. If the charter schools that had contracted with the Charter School Commission want to continue to operate as a charter school, the school district in which the charter school is located shall execute a contract with the charter school board. Provides that those school districts' boards of directors shall be considered authorizers (and therefore subject to all applicable laws) for the purposes of those charter schools. To be authorizers for additional charter schools, those school districts must follow the same process established by the State Board of Education as any other school district.
Makes other technical changes as necessary.
