Notwithstanding the enrollment preferences in this section and subject to the approval of the Springfield school committee, a Horace Mann charter school in the city of Springfield may limit enrollment or add an enrollment preference using the assignment system of the public schools of Springfield, provided that the original charter of the Horace Mann charter school or an amendment to the charter permits such an enrollment limitation or preference.  An amendment to the charter of a Horace Mann charter school in the city of Springfield to add such an enrollment limitation or preference shall require only the approval of the Springfield School Committee, the board of trustees of the Horace Mann charter school, and the commissioner."
