MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 7, 2014 02:55 PM
From: Senator Rob Teplitz
To: All Senate members
Subject: Charter School Appeal Board Member Recusal
 
In the near future, I will introduce legislation to amend the Public School Code, authorizing a member of the State Charter School Appeal Board, who may also be an employee of a charter/cyber school, to recuse themselves from any decisions regarding charter applications from competitors of the charter/cyber school they work for.

This legislation comes from my concerns on an appointee we voted to the board recently who was an employee of a charter school. Though she made a commitment to recuse herself as appropriate, I feel this requirement is necessary because of the inherent problems involved, regardless of whether a nominee is willing to make the personal commitment.

I ask you to join me in co-sponsoring this legislation.


Introduced as SB1257
