2021 CCSA Virtual Fall Workshop Pre-Recorded Session: The More Things Change, the More they Stay the Same – Charter School Law in the Wake of a Pandemic - Four months pre-pandemic, the Governor signed into law AB 1505 & 1507 – the most sweeping legislative charter school reform package since the Charter Schools Act was enacted in 1992. These new laws were intended to increase charter school accountability and transparency. Among other things, AB 1505 & 1507 relied heavily on specific accountability metrics, such as the Dashboard, implemented a moratorium on non-classroom-based charter school programs. and established strict rules governing charter school programs, and established strict rules governing charter school geographic location. Months later, the COVID-19 pandemic hit California. With it, the Dashboard went by the wayside and the education world shifted into a distance learning mode. Despite drastic changes to charter school law intended to increase accountability, practically speaking the pandemic may have had the opposite effect – moving the ball backward on charter school reform and accountability. This presentation will discuss the progression of charter law pre-AB 1505 through the pandemic, the Governor’s trailer bill, navigating accountability challenges for charter schools and authorizers now and in the future, and related practical and legal considerations.
