9. State Contingency Action If Neither Charter or Authorizing LEA Reports Reauthorization 9 * Applies to charters with 7-12 grade students Correct any CCEs or MIDs that are impacting the Fall 1 certification status of another LEA Certify next year’s Fall 1 using whatever data is already in CALPADS*

10. Best Practices 10 Discuss how the charter will meet state reporting requirements in the charter petition and review process Establish and maintain a positive relationship, with clear communications. Authorizing LEAs should monitor reporting progress and provide support to ensure that their charters meet reporting requirements. Establish a plan with clearly defined tasks to be used in the event of a closure or reauthorization. Transfer the charter’s CALPADS data to the Authorizing Agency upon closure

11. 11 Key Points Charters failing to meet state and federal reporting requirements may experience consequences, including funding cuts or revocation/non-renewal of the school’s charter. Authorizing LEAs must ensure that their charters meet state reporting requirements. Failing to do so could have negative consequences for the authorizing LEA. When a charter gets reauthorized it must be reported in CALPADS.
