AB 1084: Charter schools: operation.

Existing law, the Charter Schools Act of 1992, authorizes a charter school to elect to operate as, or be operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, as specified.

This bill, commencing with the 201718 school year and each school year thereafter, would do both of the following: (1) prohibit a virtual or online charter school, as defined, from being owned or operated by, or operated as, a for-profit entity; and (2) prohibit a nonprofit online charter school, nonprofit charter virtual academy, and a nonprofit entity that operates an online or virtual charter school from contracting with a for-profit entity for the provision of instructional services. on July 1, 2017, would instead require that a charter school only operate as, or be operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, a school district, a county office of education, or the University of California.
