Recognizing the importance of LEA status and related issues LEA/Non LEA Recognizing the importance of LEA status and related issues 3rd National Summit on Special Education in Charter Schools November 7-9, 2006

Background A charter school is either its own Local Education Agency (LEA) or part of another LEA for special education purposes. LEA status defines responsibilities for special education – between a charter school and their LEA. This relationship differs from state to state. How LEA status is defined between a charter school and their LEA/district is an issue that affects front line service delivery.

How do State Charter Laws Differ? 15 years into the charter school movement, charter laws still define where responsibility lies for special education—with the charter school, within an LEA, or a negotiated level of responsibility. In some states, the responsibility for special education falls on the district as the LEA, (New York). In some states the responsibility falls on the charter school as the LEA (Arizona) Responsibility may also be negotiated between the district and the charter school and the agreement may be different with every school. (Maryland)

Pros and Cons of LEA status Charter school as the LEA: A higher level of autonomy in exchange for a higher level of responsibility for both service delivery and legal liability Freedom to control the IEP process, service providers and choice of programs IDEA Part B funding flows directly to the charter school

Pros and Cons of LEA status Charter school as a part of an LEA: Responsibility for service delivery falls on the district along with any legal liability The IEP process, service providers and programs are provided by the district Technical assistance and support are provided by the district

Dealing with LEA status State by State How has LEA status evolved in your state? How are states dealing with this issue? Have states, authorizers and charter schools figured out how to balance autonomy and responsibility? What issues continue to need attention?
