Version:

Existing law requires charter schools to locate in accordance with geographic and site limitations, as provided. Existing law provides an exception to this jurisdictional limitation for charter schools that provide instruction exclusively in partnership with one of specified federal or state job training entities.

This bill would provide an additional exception to the jurisdictional limitation on charter schools for at-promise charter schools, as defined.

Existing law requires a pupil over 19 years of age, in order to be eligible for generating charter school apportionments, to be continuously enrolled in a public school and to make satisfactory progress towards a high school diploma. Existing law provides an exception to those provisions for a charter school that provides instruction exclusively in partnership with one of specified federal or state job training entities.

This bill would provide an additional exception to the charter school apportionment provision for at-promise charter schools.

Existing law authorizes a charter school to collect apportionment for pupils enrolled in independent study and prohibits a charter school from claiming independent study apportionment for pupils who do not reside either in the county in which the charter school is located or in a county adjacent to the charter school location.This bill would exempt from this funding prohibition those charter schools that are defined as at-promise charter schools.Existing law requires teachers in charter schools to hold the Commission on Teacher Credentialing certificate, permit, or other document required for the teachers certificated assignment.This bill would exempt teachers in at-promise charter schools from this requirement.
