How can charter schools participate in the process for determining exclusivity?
First, the school district must notify its charter schools that it is applying for exclusive sponsorship authority by providing a copy of the resolution to all of the charter schools it has sponsored on or before the date that it submits its resolution to the State Board. Charter schools are then requested to submit their responses regarding the current requests for exclusivity to the Department of Education. Additionally, the State Board is holding public meetings and soliciting input from the charter schools sponsored by that district to determine if a school district has demonstrated “fair and equitable” treatment.
