6. SB 127 3rd Reading

Passage; April 13, 2011; Journal Page 1076: 24 Yeas, 7 Nays

YCT Yea.  SB 127 would have eliminated the hard cap on charter school licenses and replaced it with an annual limit on the number of licenses issued.  Charter schools provide an important option for parents and students who are dissatisfied with traditional education options.   YCT supports any measure which encourages diversification of education options and provides more and better opportunities for students.  That cannot happen so long as the hard cap on the number of charter schools remains in place.
