A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4164 AS INTRODUCED 2-5-03
House Bill 4164 would amend the Revised School Code to require that employees of charters schools authorized by intermediate school districts be covered by intermediate school districts’ collective bargaining agreements.
The bill specifies that when a public school academy (more customarily called a charter school) is authorized by an intermediate school district (ISD), the contract issued to organize and administer the charter school must contain an agreement that employees of the charter school will be covered by the collective bargaining agreement that applies to ISD employees who are employed in similar classifications in schools or programs that are not charter schools. Currently this provision of the law applies only to employees of charter schools that are authorized by a school district.
