Report 2016-141: Charter Schools: Some School Districts Improperly Authorized and Inadequately Monitored Out‑of‑District Charter Schools (Release Date: October 2017)

Recommendation for Legislative Action

To reduce the need for litigation between authorizing districts and host districts, the Legislature should establish an appeals process through which districts can resolve disputes related to establishing out of district charter schools.

Description of Legislative Action

No longer necessary. AB 1507 (Chapter 487, Statutes of 2019) deleted the authority of a charter school to locate outside the jurisdiction or geographic boundaries of the chartering school district, because the charter school has attempted to locate a single site or facility to house the entire program, but a site or facility is unavailable in the area in which the charter school chooses to locate, or the site is needed for temporary use during a construction or expansion project.
