(a) Any person may apply to an authorizer for the
establishment of a new charter school. The applicant shall have
the right to determine which authorizer to apply to and may
apply to a different authorizer for renewal of a charter. The
Wyoming charter school authorizing board may reject a renewal
application from an existing charter school if the renewal is to
avoid necessary corrective measures, including closure of the
charter school, identified by the authorizer.
(b) Administrators and teachers employed by the district,
parents of students enrolled in the district and any special
district advisory group comprised of district residents may
apply to the district board to convert an existing public school
operating within the school district to a charter school. An
application filed under this subsection shall demonstrate the
support of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the teachers
employed by the school who teach at the school proposed to be
converted, and the parents of fifty percent (50%) of all
students attending the school proposed to be converted. A
converted charter school operated under this subsection is a
separate school and shall have the rights and obligations
provided under this article, including but not limited to the
ability to hire its own employees.
(c) Instead of establishing a new charter school or a
converted charter school under this section, a district board
and a charter school applicant may by mutual agreement establish
a charter school within a school. A charter school operated
under this subsection is a separate school and shall have the
rights and obligations provided under this article for new and
converted charter schools. The agreement between the school
board and the charter school may provide that faculty and staff
at the charter school may work in both the charter school
established under this subsection and other district schools. If
district students attend both the charter school established
under this subsection and another district school, the students
shall be counted for each school in proportion to the percentage
of their time spent in each school.
