HI HCR222

Urges the Board of Education to accelerate adoption of administrative rules to implement charter school law, including procedures for revoking charter school charters.

References the 2009 revocation of Waters of Life Public Charter School's charter by the Charter School Review Panel due to financial instability, poor fiscal management, and inadequate facilities.

Notes that a July 31, 2009 Circuit Court injunction prevented further charter revocations until the Board of Education adopts administrative rules governing the revocation process.

Urges the Board of Education and Charter School Review Panel to hold Waters of Life Public Charter School accountable for state fund expenditures and education quality after administrative rules are adopted.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the Governor, Superintendent of Education, Board of Education Chair, Charter School Administrative Office Director, and Charter School Review Panel Chair.
