Prohibits members of a reconstituted charter school governing body from serving in any public office.
Current Law:
Charter school authorizers may reconstitute a school’s governing board—rather than revoke the charter—if the board commits serious violations, such as financial mismanagement, failure to meet accountability standards, violations of bylaws or nonprofit law, or imminent insolvency.
Proposed Law:
Prohibits any member of a governing body reconstituted under these provisions from holding public office as defined in R.S. 42:1.
Effective Date:
Upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
