School Law
Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) properly found Charter School's proposal in compliance with requirements of Charter Schools Law and in best interests of students it was designed to serve. Proposal met requirements for economic soundness, clear standard for goals, and proper admissions standard. No due process violation in ISBE staff meeting with Charter School to assist in revising proposal. No evidence that contract for parents and admitted students is a screening mechanism. No showing that establishing Charter School, and its continued existence over five years, would financially imperil school district. (R. GORDON and LAMPKIN, concurring.)
