We encourage schools to review them and consider voluntary adoption at your school site. These guidelines were developed by representatives of several California charter schools. We would like to thank them for their contribution.

• In no case shall a charter school pay a person for teaching pupils of which a majority are relatives of the person.
• Interactive student instruction must be available to all students; this may include but not be limited to distance learning technology, small group instruction and other site specific opportunities.
• A charter school may not transfer ownership of any materials purchased with public funds to any student or parent any time. Consumables that are used in the course of a student's educational endeavors are excepted. Instructional property will be purchased by and remain the property of the charter school.
• No sectarian or denom charter school shall support any private school whether directly or indirectly via the exchange of funds, material or personnel, nor collect funding for any student enrolled full-time concurrently in a private school.
• CANEC is in the process of developing guidelines for attendance accountability. The Network has convened a working group to examine existing "exemplary " systems and will work closely with CDE to establish a rigorous system that maintains sufficient flexibility for charter innovations.
