Amend the bill, as and if amended, by deleting in its entirety Section 59-40-50(B)(8) and inserting:
/ (8) not limit or deny
admission or show preference in admission decisions to any
individual or group of individuals, except in the case of an
application to create a single gender charter school, in which
case gender may be the only reason to show preference or deny
admission to the school; however, a charter
school may give enrollment priority to a sibling of a pupil
already currently enrolled or
previously enrolled, or who, within the last three
years, attended the school for at least one academic year. A
charter school also may give priority to children of a
charter school employee, and children of the
charter committee, if such priority enrollment
for children of employees and of the charter committee
does not constitute more than twenty percent of the enrollment
of the charter school; /
Renumber sections to conform.
