Provides that when the State Board of Education reverses a local school board's decision to deny, revoke, or not renew a charter, the State Board, not the local school board, shall provide the funding necessary to pay the costs of the charter school from a separate appropriation. Provides that the amount of State aid paid to the school district shall not be reduced because the State Board is providing the funding, and requires that days of attendance by pupils at the charter school be accredited to and counted by the school district in which those pupils reside for purposes of determining the average daily attendance of and State aid payable to that district. Provides that the funding, services, and time of payment shall be negotiated by the State Board and charter school. Provides that the amount of funding for a charter school after the first school year of operation is based on an average daily attendance figure for the charter school instead of the number of students residing in the school district who are enrolled in the charter school. Provides that these changes apply beginning June 1, 1998. Effective immediately.
