Allows the Chicago Board of Education to designate attendance boundaries for no more than one-third of the charter schools permitted in Chicago if the Board determines that attendance boundaries are needed to relieve overcrowding, to better serve low-income and at-risk students, or to otherwise meet the public interest. Allows students residing within an attendance boundary to be given priority for enrollment, but prohibits them from being required to attend the charter school.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
