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.
Emergency Closures: Please email [email protected] or [email protected] if your charter school needs to implement a school closure due to emergency conditions. J-13 Documents require a wet signature from the SDUSD Superintendent's Office. Please schedule a time to drop off the form at the Charter Office to be routed 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].
