NY A06882

Changes charter school application requirements in districts where charter enrollment exceeds 5% of total public school enrollment, requiring applications to demonstrate both significant educational benefit and district consent (previously only one or the other was required)

Adds specific provision for New York City (cities with population of one million or more), requiring consent from the community school district where the charter school would be located, rather than the citywide school district

Applies to charter school applications in districts already experiencing significant charter school enrollment relative to traditional public schools

Takes effect immediately upon passage
