Senate Bill 968 simply provides that charter schools be treated as school districts for the purposes of:
- Zoning.
- Permitting.
- Code compliance.
- Development.
- Land development agreements.
- Impact fees.
- Drainage fees.
The bill also provides that charter schools may not be singled out for exclusion by a political subdivision.
These provisions ensure that charter schools receive equal treatment with independent school districts for the purposes of establishment and development within their respective jurisdictions.
