Relating to the applicability of certain laws to open-enrollment charter schools.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 968 would require a municipality to "to consider an open-enrollment charter school a school district for purposes of zoning, permitting, code compliance, and development." This bill would also prohibit political subdivisions from enacting a prohibition that restricts where a open-enrollment charter school can operate.
Texas Action recommends supporting SB 968 because it promotes our principle of limited government. This bill would prohibit a municipality, county, or other political subdivision from restricting where an open-enrollment charter school can operate, which promotes school choice and fair treatment to charter schools.
