Bill overview
This bill extends restrictions on the creation of new charter schools in California. Initially, it prohibited approval of new charter school petitions offering nonclassroom-based instruction from 2020 to 2026. This bill extends that prohibition through January 1, 2027. It also extends the performance standards and renewal procedures for existing charter schools, delaying the implementation of revised standards until 2027. Furthermore, the bill impacts classified employee rules in school districts and community colleges, altering disciplinary procedures and appealing processes. Finally, it ensures state reimbursement for any costs associated with these changes mandated by the state.
