Butte School District
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
1650
Public Charter Schools
The Board of Trustees may submit an application in response to a request for proposal from the Board of Public Education to establish a public charter school consistent with Montana law. Any application for a public charter school submitted under this provision shall be consistent with the mission and vision of the District as specified in the strategic plan for continuous improvement adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Requests for Creation of School or Program
The Board of Trustees shall review any request from an individual or entity unaffiliated with the District to create a school or program within the District to determine if the requested school or program is currently addressed by District operations or meets the mission and vision of the District as specified in the strategic plan for continuous improvement. The Board is authorized to refer the request to a committee established in accordance with Policy 1130 for hearing and consideration with a report to the full Board. Any meeting conducted for the purposes of considering a request to create a school or program shall be held in open session in accordance with Policy 1400.
The Board is authorized to respond to a request to create a school or program within the District by stating the requested school or program is currently offered by the District or by granting or denying the request. If the requested school or program is currently offered by the District, the Board will outline how the school or program operates and how students may access the school or program. If the Board grants the request, it shall set a documented timeline for implementing the school or program consistent with District operations. If the Board of Trustees declines the request to create the school or program, it shall document for future reference the reasons the request is inconsistent with the mission and vision of the District as specified in the strategic plan for continuous improvement. Any request previously declined by the Board of Trustees may be reconsidered at a future meeting.
