That’s why CSBA is providing an update to Charter Schools: A Guide for Governance Teams, a guidebook made specifically for board members and superintendents serving as charter school authorizers in California. This update is available in a convenient e-book format on Amazon’s Kindle Store (https://amzn.to/2RMqw4Z).
Since this guidebook was last published in 2016, significant changes to California’s school funding, accountability and assessment systems have impacted all public schools, including charter schools. Charter schools are adapting to a host of new academic content standards and accountability requirements, and charters, districts and county offices of education are all being affected by the implementation of Assembly Bill 1505, signed into law in 2019 and effective as of July 1, 2020. These, and many other updates, are changing the way in which charter schools operate and how governance teams fulfill their responsibilities as they relate to educating all students.
CSBA is committed to supporting the role of governance teams in maintaining accountability and improving the quality of education in California schools. This guidebook represents part of that commitment, and new and veteran board members alike will find it a practical and informative resource.
Charter Schools: A Guide for Governance Teams is a powerful resource for CSBA members to execute their governance and charter school oversight responsibilities in a productive manner.
