BILL NUMBER: SB 739 VETOED DATE: 09/29/2016 To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 739 without my signature. This bill would prohibit a school district that has a negative budget certification from authorizing a charter school to operate outside of their attendance boundaries. This bill attempts to address an issue, currently being reviewed by the State Auditor, whereby school districts authorize multiple charter schools outside of district boundaries to collect oversite fees. Let's review the audit when it's released next spring to better determine the scope of the issue and what, if any, policy changes are necessary. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
