SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, limits the total enrollment at all virtual public charter schools authorized by the Maine Charter School Commission to 1,200 students. The amendment also removes the provision in the bill that prohibited a virtual public charter school from expanding to serve a grade level not included in the school's initial charter or renewed charter contract.
