- Identifies the State Board of Education to serve as a secondary authorizer as a result of an appeal decision or for a restructured school
- Requires that charter schools receive funding that is commensurate to funding received by other public schools
- Gives charter schools a right to appeal decisions made by local boards of education
- Requires that charter school employees are public school employees of the local school board
- Requires that local school boards adopt a charter school policy
