Fall Update

 

Annual Site Visit Information:

All site visit documents will be submitted via Epicenter. View and download the SITE VISIT DOCUMENT LIST. Additional information and specific site schedules we be emailed to individual schools closer to the site visit date.

Renewel Petitions: Please review and download the AB 1505 Implementation Plan for detailed information regarding renewal petition submissions, timelines, new renewel standards and additional grounds for denial.

CDPH Guidance: Please review the attached CDPH website communication dated May 23, 2023 for “COVID-19 Public Health Guidance for K–12 Schools to Support Safe In-Person Learning ” https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/K-12-Guidance-2022-23-School-Year.aspx

COVID Quarantines & Closures: Please email [email protected]; [email protected] if your charter school implements a quarantine or school closure for a significant number of students, for example a whole class or grade level due to a community outbreak. J-13 Documents require a wet signature from SDUSD Superintendent Office. Please schedule a time  to drop off the form to the Charter Office to route for signature. The charter school is responsible for the final delivery to the CDE.  
Independent Study Policy: Please be prepared to submit your Independent Study board approved policy at your site visit. If you modify the policy later in the year, please email the updated version, along with charter board documents showing approval, to [email protected]; [email protected]. Please note that the passing of AB181, in June 2022, again created changes to Independent Study and may require an update to your Independent Study Policy.

Charter Revisions: Please contact [email protected]; [email protected]  if you are seeking to revise your educational program, governance, and/or operations, which may include opening, closing, expanding, or adding a facility (including administrative offices); changing grade levels; changing the school name; changing the SELPA membership; increasing enrollment beyond what was approved in the current charter; changing the governing board structure; changing the bylaws; etc. We are happy to discuss whether a proposed change necessitates the SDUSD Board of Education to grant/deny a material revision to the charter. Operating without an approved charter revision may result in a not in good standing status and/or notice of violation.
