"(b)     The  State  Board  shall  authorize  no  more  than  five  
three charter  schools  per  5 
year  in  one  local  school  administrative  unit.  The  State  Board  shall  authorize  no  more  6

local  school  administrative  unit  or  more  than  100

standards  for  final  approval,  the  State  Board  shall  give  priority  to  applications  that  are  9 
most likely to further State education policies and to strengthen the educational program 10 
offered in the local school administrative units in which they are located." 11
