     3    § 2855-a. Parental notification. 1.  Parents  or  legal  guardians  of
     4  children  who  are  enrolled  in charter schools or whom the schools are
     5  attempting to recruit shall be notified  when  such  schools  receive  a
     6  corrective  action  plan  or are given a short-term renewal of less than
     7  five years from their charter authorizer.
     8    2. The term "charter school" shall have the same meaning as defined in
     9  this chapter.
    10    3. Such notice shall be provided within two weeks of actual notice  of
    11  such a school's status.
