Present law provides for the Charter School Demonstration Programs Law to provide for the creation
and operation of charter schools.
Notwithstanding the provisions of present law, proposed law authorizes a charter group that seeks
to operate a charter school as a means to replace a public school closed by the local school board,
to submit a charter application either to the local school board for a Type 1 or Type 3 charter, or
directly to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for a Type 2 charter, provided
the charter application otherwise complies with the provisions of present law. Further provides that
there shall be a rebuttable presumption that such application fully complies with the provisions of
present law.
Effective August 1, 2016.
