Are charter schools required to comply with all of the CSR program requirements?
Yes. Previously, charter schools were exempted from the requirement to hire “certificated teachers” and instead were allowed to hire any classroom teacher meeting the qualifications specified in the school’s charter. However, legislation incorporated into Education Code Section 47605(l) now requires teachers in charter schools to hold certification equivalent to that which a teacher in other public schools would be required to hold. In addition, Education Code Section 52121.5 states “…any reference to school districts shall be deemed to include charter schools.
