STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Seventeen
AN ACT relative to grounds for denial of a chartered public school application.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Chartered Public Schools; Chartered Public School Approval by State Board of Education. Amend RSA 194-B:3-a, IV to read as follows:
IV. The state board of education shall either approve or deny an application using reasonable discretion in the assessment of the elements set forth in RSA 194-B:3, II, (a)-(bb) and (dd). [Lack of state funding alone shall not constitute grounds for the denial of an application.] Approval of an application constitutes the granting of charter status and the right to operate as a chartered public school. The state board of education shall notify all applicants of its decision in writing, and shall include in any notice of denial a written statement specifying any areas deemed deficient, the reasons for the denial, and explaining that the applicant may reapply under RSA 194-B:3 or under this section in a subsequent year.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
