How
to Acquire Facilities Under Prop. 39 (PowerPoint and Audio
presentation)(Sept. 1, 2011)
Charter schools are entitled to reasonably
equivalent facilities from their district. Districts must treat
charter and non-charter school students equitably in the allocation
of facilities. Know your entitlements under the law so you can
negotiate the best facilities solution for your school. If you
are a charter school developer or an operating charter school
(conversion or startup) you can benefit from this online workshop.
We provide tips for submitting a Prop. 39 request, responding
to the District’s offers, and negotiating a facilities
use agreement that protects the charter school’s rights.
Learn to negotiate shared-use agreements, reduce the pro rata
share fees and oversight charge, and to leverage the best agreement
possible for your school. View
