Advisory Commission on Charter Schools

Created in October 2001, the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools advises the State Board on aspects of the Board's duties under The Charter Schools Act of 1992, so that the State Board carries out its proper role of ensuring that charter schools realize higher student achievement within a context of sound educational programs and practices, proper financial management and certain specific requirements of law.

Next Scheduled Meetings of the ACCS

The next scheduled meeting of the ACCS will be held October 17, 2002 in the new California Department of Education Building at 1430 N Street (corner of 15th and N Streets) in Sacramento. The closest public parking lots are located: on 13th Street, between O and P Streets; on 11th Street, between O and P Streets; on 10th Street, between K (pedestrian mall) and L Streets; and on 13th Street, between I and J Streets

Information about the agenda can be found on the Public Meeting Notice. We have supporting documents for the following agenda items: Special Education, Continuous Enrollment of Students Aged 19+, and possible non-renewal/revocation for failure to prove academic performance (Initial Paper and September 30 Paper). As responses are received from members of the charter community we will also post those responses. At this time, a response on the Over 19 Issue has been received from Visions in Education.

The ACCS is considering making recommendations to the State Board on issues that will affect all charter schools. We encourage you to read the agenda and make your feelings known on these important issues. The ACCS accepts comments by e-mail sent to Kushmail@aol.com and ggeeting@cde.ca.gov.

Notes from Prior Meetings of ACCS:

History of the ACCS

At their October 2001 meeting, the State Board of Education established the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools (ACCS). The ACCS will be composed of nine members -- eight who are appointed by the State Board and one designated by the State Superintendent. Within the membership, the State Board must ensure representation by school district superintendents, charter schools, teachers, parents/guardians, members of the governing boards of school districts, and county superintendents of schools.

The ACCS was created to advise the State Board on aspects of the Board's duties under The Charter Schools Act of 1992, so that the State Board carries out its proper role of ensuring that charter schools realize higher student achievement within a context of sound educational programs and practices, proper financial management and certain specific requirements of law.

Priority areas for consideration by the ACCS will include selective granting of charters by the State Board of Education, recommending appropriate action including, but not limited to, revocation of charters, and recommending appropriate funding for non-classroom charter schools pursuant to state regulations.

The ACCS may hold regular meetings as frequently as monthly, based on their workload. These meetings will be open to the public and subject to the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act.
