Who Should Attend

  • Administrators/Charter School Leaders
  • Authorizers
  • Charter Board Members

Charters are facing strong political headwinds. Join our experts as we catch our breath and survey the road ahead as we start the new school year. It seems we are the ones we’ve been waiting for, making it important to know the options and opportunities that are out there. In this webinar, we will review several of the most important changes for charters contained in SB 114, the 2023 education omnibus budget trailer bill, and discuss recent court rulings.

These include:

    • Further limitations on charter appeals to the State Board of Education and what that means locally
    • Charter term extensions and what that means for renewals
    • Transitional kindergarten class sizes
    • Extended “moratorium” on new nonclassroom-based charter schools
    • School finance updates

Additionally, we will discuss possible outcomes stemming from the court ruling in the recent Napa Valley Unified case, finding that the State Board of Education acted improperly in reversing local denials of a charter petition.

Our presenters have handled every state board appeal since AB 1505 was adopted in 2019 through the pending appeals. Attend this webinar to learn everything you need to know as the next school year heats up.
