LAC 28:CXXXIX.1801. Voluntary Relinquishment of a BESE-Authorized Charter

A. If the operator or board of a BESE authorized charter school determines that it can no longer operate the charter school, it shall relinquish the charter to BESE at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the next school year. B. Failure to relinquish a charter at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the next school year may result in BESE declining to accept a charter application submitted by that operator to BESE for up to five years. If at any time during this period, members of such charter operator’s board form a majority of board membership for a different charter operator, BESE may decline to accept a charter application submitted by such charter operator.
