Summary

The Charter Schools Act of 1992 permits teachers and parents to petition the governing board of a school district to approve a charter school to operate independently from the existing school district structure as a method of accomplishing, among other things, improved pupil learning. Existing law prohibits the governing board of a school district from denying a petition for the establishment of a charter school unless the governing board finds that the petition does not contain specified information, including, among other information, the qualifications to be met by individuals to be employed by the school and a declaration whether or not the charter school will be deemed the exclusive public school employer of the employees of the charter school for purposes of laws governing collective bargaining. This bill would require a petition for the establishment of a charter school, except specified charter schools, to include a description of the personnel policies and procedures of the charter school, including, but not limited to, those related to jury duty, vacations, holidays, employee discipline, and leave for pregnancy, bereavement, and illness.
