Law:
For the links to Michigan's charter school law and legal updates, see the CMU's Center for Charter Schools' web site.
Amendment(s):
Recent legislation provides for the authorization of
up to 15 "urban high school academies" that may be authorized and
located in the City of Detroit. Under that legislation, Public Act 179
of 2003, those "urban high school academies" would be authorized for
initial terms of 10 years with subsequent renewal terms of 10 years.
That law is being challenged in the Michigan courts.
Authorizers:
local school boards, intermediate school boards, community college boards (within their service areas), and state public university boards
Length of charter:
There is no current legal limit on the length of the authorizing charter for most charter schools.
Caps on number of schools:
There is a cap on the number of charter
schools that may be authorized by public state universities. That cap,
of 150, remains in effect and the maximum number of schools that may be
chartered by state public universities was reached several years ago.
There is no cap on the number of charter schools that may be authorized
by local school districts (LEAs), community colleges or intermediate
school districts.
Funding:
capped at the statewide average
