Senate Bill 1177 amends the Human Resources Code to authorize the commissioner of education to grant a charter to an eligible entity that has entered into a contract with a detention, correctional, or residential facility established only for juvenile offenders. The bill entitles a charter school operated by such a facility or entity to receive open-enrollment charter school funding under the foundation school program in the same manner as an open-enrollment charter school.
