For those that follow legislation: The Assembly Education Committee will hear SB 1263 (Pavley, D-Agoura Hills) on June 25th. This bill would strip charter schools current ability to locate facilities outside of their charter-granting district boundaries. Current law generally requires most charter schools to locate within district boundaries, but authorizes out-of-district locations when facilities are not available within bounds. SB 1263 would eliminate this out-of-district flexibility thereby severely restricting charter schools facilities options. AB 913 (Chau, D-Monterey Park) would impose a raft of restrictive laws on charter schools, including the Brown Act, Public Records Act, Political Reform Act, and Government Code section 1090 (GC 1090) conflict-of-interest laws. Many are very concerned that if these laws are formally applied to charter schools in law, vigorous enforcement could severely burden most, if not all charter schools.
