May charter schools participate in the grant? May a charter school serve as the high-need LEA?
Charter schools that are under the jurisdiction of a participating school district (assuming that district or another within the proposed partnership is a “high-need” LEA) are definitely eligible to participate. Schools chartered under the authority of the state or a County Office of Education may participate, but the County Office may not be considered the “high-need LEA” partner. Charter schools that are direct-funded and meet California state requirements as independent LEAs may be considered for participation as the high-need LEA. The conditions for eligibility in terms of student poverty and teacher qualifications are still being determined through consultation between CPEC and the California Department of Education.
