Summary

The bill defines mayoral academies as charter schools created by a mayor‑led nonprofit that serve multiple cities or towns and admit students by lottery. It requires that only mayors or town administrators serve as voting members of the academy’s board, while other local representatives may sit as non‑voting advisors. Attendance is voluntary, and school districts must help students transfer in or out as needed.
