(b)
by notice in the Gazette, notify—

the conversion date for the school; and

(d)
ensure that the sponsor complies with any instructions given in accordance with section 212L(5)(k); and
(e)

(2)
If a charter school is being converted under section 212ZD(1)(f), the Ministry must—

(i)
negotiating the termination or transfer of any lease, tenancy, or licence involving the sponsor:
(ii)

(3)
This subpart does not apply from the date notified in subsection (1)(b)(ii) to a former charter school that has been converted under section 212ZD(1)(f).
Explanatory note
This Amendment Paper amends the Education and Training Amendment Bill. In the Bill, currently, the only way for a charter school to be disestablished through termination of the charter school contract is by closing the school, which is extreme. This amendment offers an alternative opportunity for the charter school to be converted into a State or State integrated school.
