2003 House Bill 4401

House Roll Call 78: The amendment was not adopted

To eliminate a requirement that the Department of Education must assign a district code to charter schools within 30 days after a contract is submitted by the school’s authorizing body, rather than "in a timely manner" as required under current law. The district code is necessary for the school to receive school aid payments from the state. Note: on the day the amendment was offered, the state superintendent of schools announced he would refuse to issue the codes to seven new charter schools created by Bay Mills Community College.
