- Analysis -

This ordinance establishes a $125 per student oversight fee to be paid by common council charter schools, beginning in the 2000-01 school year. For non full-time equivalent students, the oversight fee is a pro-rated share of $125. The fee is payable in 4 installments, which are due after the school's receipt of each quarterly state payment of shared costs funds.

The oversight fee is payable to the city treasurer to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the charter school program. Expenditures from such trust fund shall be authorized by the charter school review committee. (The current ordinance establishing the charter school review committee authorizes the committee to recommend to the common council the establishment of reasonable oversight fees to defray the "actual and necessary costs" of the review committee.)
