SB 705,
as amended, Hill. Charter school facilities:begin delete notification.end deletebegin insert posting facilities request or preliminary or final offer.end insert
Existing law requires each school district to make available to each charter school operating in the school district facilities sufficient for the charter school to accommodate all of the charter school’s in-district pupils in conditions reasonably equivalent to those in which the pupils would be accommodated if they were attending other public schools of the district. Existing law requires a charter school desiring facilities from a school district in which it is operating to provide the school district with a reasonable projection of the charter school’s average daily classroom attendance by in-district students for the following year and requires the school district to allocate facilities to the charter school based on that projection. Existing law requires the State Department of Education to propose, and for the State Board of Education to adopt, regulations to implement those provisions.
This bill would require a schoolbegin delete district to notify, in writing, a district-operated school and the parents or guardians of pupils attending that district-operated school if the school district reasonably anticipates that a public school facility located in that district-operated school will be allocated to a charter school, as specified.end deletebegin insert district, within 10 days of receiving a facilities request from a charter school or making a preliminary or final offer of facilities to a charter school to post that information on the school district’s Internet Web site.end insert To the extent the bill imposes additional duties on school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
