§ 37-165-25 - Sources of funding for public schools converted to conversion charter school [Repealed effective July 1, 2016]
In addition to receiving state funds for operations, public schools converted to conversion charter school status may accept bequests, devises, donations and grants from any public or private source and may apply for federal funding under the federal "Race to the Top" program. It is the intent of the Legislature that in accordance with the conditions of federal funding under the federal "Race to the Top" program, public schools converted to conversion charter school status in Mississippi are authorized to operate conversion charter and autonomous public school programs that are high-performing. It is further the intent of the Legislature that public schools converted to conversion charter school status receive equitable state and federal funding compared to traditional public schools, as required by the federal "Race to the Top" program, and that the state shall not impose any school facility-related requirements on conversion charter schools which are more restrictive than those applied to traditional public schools.
