HI SB2780

Prohibits authorizers from providing technical support to prospective charter school applicants or existing charter schools when that support would directly impact authorization, approval, denial, renewal, revocation, or nonrenewal decisions.

Requires charter school governing boards to keep written minutes of public meetings that include attendance records, discussion substance, participant views, individual member votes, and any other information members request.

Requires charter schools to post meeting notices, agendas, and written minutes on their websites and in school offices, with minutes due within 60 calendar days after the meeting or 5 calendar days after the next meeting, whichever is sooner.

Authorizes charter schools to assess and collect special fees and charges from students for co-curricular activities, with funds deposited into insured accounts and spent by individual schools.

Clarifies that charter school revocation and nonrenewal proceedings are not subject to Chapter 91 administrative hearing requirements and exempts the state public charter school commission from open meeting requirements for matters on which it has already rendered a decision.
