House asks BESE to study parental‑approval voting threshold for charter conversions
A House resolution introduced on May 29 asks the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to study the voting threshold required by law for parental approval when a preexisting school is converted to a charter. Representative Echols presented the measure on the floor and moved to suspend the rules to refer the resolution to committee; the clerk announced the referral to the Education Committee "without objection."

The transcript contains the resolution's purpose and the committee referral but includes no floor debate about the substance, the current statutory threshold or the scope of the study. The Education Committee will decide whether to request legal analysis from BESE staff, gather stakeholder testimony from parents and school officials, and report back to the House with findings or a recommended legislative change.

No timeline, statutory citations, or specifics on the existing parental‑approval threshold were discussed on the floor; the transcript only records the introduction and the committee referral.
