On page 19, line 5, after "schools" insert "including the impact on the school districts in which they are located"

On page 19, line 12, after "process." insert "The institute also shall recommend whether the charter school program should be expanded, allowed to operate at the currently permitted levels, or terminated when contracts then in force are completed. If the Washington institute for public policy study demonstrates that all charter schools are not performing at the same level or better than the regular public schools where the charter is located; and if the proportion of disadvantaged students is not higher in all charter schools than the regular public schools where the charter is located; then this act shall expire effective August 31, 2009. All existing charters shall thereby be closed by August 31, 2009."

Correct the title.
