1. In a county in which more than five charter schools are located and the total number of pupils enrolled in the charter schools exceeds 25 percent of the combined enrollment of all public schools, including, without limitation, charter schools, the Department shall, in consultation with all sponsors of charter schools in the county, determine whether holding a weighted lottery for admission to charter schools would improve diversity in charter schools that do not have a preference for at-risk pupils. If the Department determines that a weighted lottery for admission to charter schools would improve diversity in such charter schools, the Department shall, to the extent authorized by federal law, adopt regulations authorizing charter schools to establish a weighted lottery.
2. In a county in which more than ten charter schools are located and the total number of pupils enrolled in charter schools exceeds 50 percent of the combined enrollment of all public schools, including, without limitation, charter schools, the Department shall, in consultation with all sponsors of charter schools in the county:
(a) Adopt regulations establishing a uniform enrollment calendar and process for enrolling pupils applicable to all charter schools in the county. The regulations must establish a lottery for admission to each charter school in the county. If a charter school does not have a preference for at-risk pupils, the lottery must, to the extent authorized by federal law, be a weighted lottery.
(b) Allow the board of trustees of the school district to provide input regarding the enrollment calendar, processes for enrolling pupils and lotteries established pursuant to paragraph (a).
3. As used in this section, “weighted lottery” means a lottery that gives additional weight to pupils who are identified as being part of a specified group of pupils. The term does not include the reservation of seats in the charter school for specified pupils or groups of pupils.
