Doc# 571159 1
FINDINGS OF FACT IN SUPPORT OF DENIAL OF THE
RENEWAL CHARTER PETITION FOR
MAGNOLIA SCIENCE ACADEMY 4
BY THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORT 178-17/18
November 7, 2017
I. INTRODUCTION
On September 11, 2017 the Los Angeles Unified School District (“District”) received a petition
(“Petition”) for the renewal of the Magnolia Science Academy 4 charter for a term of five years.
Magnolia Science Academy 4 (“MSA 4”) is a 6-12 independent charter school serving 197
students in grades 6-12 currently on the campus of Webster Middle School, as a co-location
through Proposition 39 currently at 11330 W. Graham Place, B-9, Los Angeles, CA, 90064 in
Board District 4 and Local District West.
Based on a comprehensive review of the renewal petition application and the record of
performance of MSA 4, staff has determined that the charter school has not met the requirements
set forth in Education Code sections 47605 and 47607 and therefore recommends denial of the
renewal petition.
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR RENEWAL PETITIONS
The Charter Schools Act of 1992 (“Act”) governs the creation of charter schools in the State of
California. The Act includes Education Code section 47605, subdivision (b), which sets out the
standards and criteria for petition review, and provides that a school district governing board in
considering whether to grant a charter petition “shall grant a charter for the operation of a school
under this part if it is satisfied that granting the charter is consistent with sound educational
practice.”
The Act further provides that renewals and material revisions of charter petitions are governed
by the same standards and criteria set forth in Education Code section 47605 “and shall include
but not be limited to, a reasonably comprehensive description of any new requirement of charter
schools enacted into law after the charter was originally granted or last renewed.” (Ed. Code §
47607, subd. (a)(2).)
According to the California Code of Regulations, title 5, section 11966.4, subdivision (a)(1), a
charter school must also provide documentation with its petition for renewal showing that it has
satisfied at least one of the following academic performance criteria specified in Education Code
section 47607, subdivision (b):
1. Attained its Academic Performance Index (API) growth target in the prior year or in two of
the last three years, or in the aggregate for the prior three years; or

Doc# 571159 2
2. Ranked in deciles 4 to 10, inclusive, on the API in the prior year or in two of the last three
years; or
3. Ranked in deciles 4 to 10, inclusive, on the API for a demographically comparable school in
the prior year or in two of the last three years; or
4. The entity that granted the charter determines that the academic performance of the charter
school is at least equal to the academic performance of the public schools that the charter
school pupils would otherwise have been required to attend, as well as the academic
performance of the schools in the school district in which the charter school is located, taking
into account the composition of the pupil population that is served at the charter school. This
determination shall be based upon all of the following: a) documented and clear and
convincing data; b) pupil achievement data from assessments, including, but not limited to,
the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program established by Article 4 (commencing with
Section 60640) for demographically similar pupil populations in the comparison schools; and
c) information submitted by the charter school; or
5. Qualified for an alternative accountability system pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section
52052.
Section 47605(b) states that “[t]he governing board of the school district shall grant a charter for
the operation of a school under this part if it is satisfied that granting the charter is consistent
with sound educational practice. The governing board of the school district shall not deny a
petition for the establishment of a charter school unless it makes written factual findings, specific
to the particular petition, setting forth specific facts to support one or more of the following
findings:
1. The charter school presents an unsound educational program for the pupils to be enrolled in
the charter school.
2. The petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in
the petition.
3. The petition does not contain the number of signatures required by subdivision [47605] (a).
4. The petition does not contain an affirmation of each of the conditions described in
subdivision (d) [of section 47605].
5. The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all of the [fifteen
elements set forth in section 47605 (b) (5)].
6. The petition does not contain a declaration of whether or not the charter school shall be
deemed the exclusive public employer of the employees of the charter school for purposes of
Chapter 10.7 (commencing with Section 3540) of division 4 of Title 1 of the Government
Code.”

Doc# 571159 3
State regulations provide:
A petition for renewal submitted pursuant to Education Code section 47607 shall be considered
by the district governing board upon receipt of the petition with all of the requirements set forth
in this subdivision:
1. Documentation that the charter school meets at least one of the criteria specified in Education
Code section 47607(b).
2. A copy of the renewal charter petition including a reasonably comprehensive description of
how the charter school has met all new charter school requirements enacted into law after the
charter was originally granted or last renewed. (Title 5, California Code of Regulations (“5
CCR”), section 11966.4, subdivision (a).)
Pursuant to the requirements of SB 1290, the District “shall consider increases in pupil academic
achievement for all groups of pupils served by the charter school as the most important factor in
determining whether to grant a charter renewal.” (Ed. Code § 47607(a)(3)(A).)
In addition, state regulations require the District to “consider the past performance of the
school’s academics, finances, and operation in evaluating the likelihood of future success, along
with future plans for improvement if any.” (5 CCR § 11966.4.)
III. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
As discussed above, charter schools that have operated for at least four years must first meet one
of the minimum academic performance criteria listed in Education Code section 47607,
subdivision (b) or Education Code sections 52052(e)(2)(F) and 52052(e)(4)(C) before the
renewal request is analyzed further. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 5, § 11966.4; Ed. Code, § 47607,
subd. (b).)
A. Minimum Criteria for Renewal
Based on a comprehensive review of the renewal petition and the school’s record of
performance, District staff has concluded that Magnolia Science Academy 4 has partially met the
minimum criteria for renewal eligibility and standards and criteria for renewal. Its 2016-2017
CAASPP (SBAC) results show levels of academic performance that are below the Resident
Schools Median and Similar Schools Median in English Language Arts (ELA); and higher than
the Resident Schools Median and below the Similar Schools Median in Mathematics. (Exhibit
A1- MSA 4 Data Set).
Minimum Renewal Criteria
(School must meet at least one of the following criteria (Ed. Code § 47607(b).) Yes/No
Has the charter school attained its Academic Performance Index (API) growth target
in the prior year or in two of the last three years, both schoolwide and for all
significant subgroups?
N/A

Doc# 571159 4
*“Resident Schools” = Public schools that the charter school students would have otherwise attended based on their
addresses. “District Similar Schools” are LAUSD schools on the CDE’s Similar Schools list for this charter school
(Exhibit A1- MSA 4 Data Set).
B. Student Academic Performance in ELA and Math
On the 2016-2017 CAASPP (SBAC) assessment in English Language Arts, 31.11% of MSA 4’s
students Met or Exceeded the performance standards, which is lower than the Resident Schools
Median of 35.22% and the Similar Schools Median of 36.63%. In Math, 17.20% of MSA 4’s
students Met or Exceeded the performance standards, which is higher than the Resident Schools
Median of 16.78% and lower than the Similar Schools Median of 21.89%. On the 2015-2016
CAASPP (SBAC) assessment, in English Language Arts, 38.00% of MSA 4’s students Met or
Exceeded the performance standards, compared to the Resident Schools Median of 33.50% and
the Similar Schools Median of 35.50%. In Math, 15.00% of MSA 4’s students Met or Exceeded
the performance standards, compared to the Resident Schools Median of 16.00% and the Similar
Schools Median of 22.00% (Exhibit A1- MSA 4 Data Set).
C. Student Subgroup Academic Growth
Pursuant to the requirements of SB 1290, the District “shall consider increases in pupil academic
achievement for all groups of pupils served by the charter school as the most important factor in
determining whether to grant a charter renewal.” (Ed. Code § 47607(a) (3) (A).) The Charter
School’s record of academic performance indicates that MSA 4’s numerically significant
subgroups (Latinos and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged) demonstrated a decline in
performance in ELA, while achieving growth in Math. The comparison of the percentages of
students that Met or Exceeded the performance standards reveals that MSA 4’s Latino students
decreased by 4.11 percentage points in ELA, as a result 32.89% students scored at Met or
Exceeded categories. In Math, Latino students increased by 8.51 percentage points, and as a
result 20.51% students scored at Met or Exceeded categories. Socioeconomically Disadvantaged
students decreased by 4.57 percentage points in ELA, as a result 30.43% of students scored at
Met or Exceeded categories, and increased by 5.06 percentage points in Math, as a result 18.06%
of students scored at Met or Exceeded categories (Exhibit A1- MSA 4 Data Set).
Minimum Renewal Criteria
(School must meet at least one of the following criteria (Ed. Code § 47607(b).) Yes/No
Has the charter school ranked in deciles 4 to 10, inclusive, on the API in the prior
year or in two of the last three years? N/A
Has the charter school ranked in deciles 4 to 10, inclusive, on the API for a
demographically comparable school in the prior year or in two of the last three years?
N/A
Has the charter school presented clear and convincing evidence of academic
performance that is at least equal to or greater than the academic performance of
Resident Schools and District Similar Schools*?
Yes

Doc# 571159 5
As part of the District’s extra consideration of MSA 4’s performance in academic achievement, a
further analysis of MSA 4’s 2016-2017 CAASPP (SBAC) subgroup performance compared to
subgroup performance of District Resident Schools (“Resident Schools”) has been performed.
This analysis revealed that MSA 4’s subgroup performance had performance levels below the
subgroup comparison of the Resident Schools Median in ELA and higher in Math. At MSA 4,
32.89% of Latino students Met or Exceeded the Standards in ELA, which was 6.01 percentage
points lower than the Resident Schools Median of 38.90%. In Math, 20.51% of Latino students
Met or Exceeded the Standards, which was 5.9 percentage points higher than the Resident
Schools Median of 14.61%. MSA 4’s Socioeconomically Disadvantage subgroup had 30.43%
who Met or Exceeded the Standards in ELA, which was 2.11 percentage points lower than the
Resident Schools Median of 32.54%. In Math, 18.06% of Socioeconomically Disadvantaged
students Met or Exceeded the Standards in Math, which was 5.11 percentage points higher than
the Resident Schools Median of 12.95%. Furthermore, when comparing the percentage of
students who Met or Exceeded the performance standards in ELA, MSA 4 was lower than 4 out
of 6 Resident Schools and in Math, 2 out of 6 Resident Schools. (Exhibit A2- MSA 4
Comparison to Subgroup Resident Schools Medians).
IV. STAFF SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
After a careful and thorough review of the Petition, the school’s record of performance, and all
documentation submitted by Magnolia Science Academy 4, District staff recommends that the
Board of Education adopt these Findings of Fact for the Denial of the Magnolia Science
Academy 4 Charter Renewal and deny the renewal petition based on the following grounds:
(A) Petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in
the petition; (Ed. Code § 47605(b)(2).)
(B) The petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all required
elements. (Ed. Code § 47605(b)(5).)
V. FINDINGS OF FACT FOR DENIAL
A. Petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set
forth in the petition, as indicated by the following findings:
 The Charter School has failed to bring its petition into compliance with policy
and procedures which LAUSD as the charter authorizer has determined to be
necessary and appropriate for the safety and well-being of all students and in the
public interest consistent with the California Charter Schools Act. Moreover, the
Petition includes changes that seek to inappropriately limit the ability of LAUSD
to perform its oversight role. The content of Charter School’s petition at the time
of writing these findings remains out of compliance. The failure of Charter
School to revise its petition to come into compliance despite multiple
opportunities to do so calls into question the capacity of the petitioners and

Doc# 571159 6
others operating the Charter School to fully and consistently comply with
policies and laws applicable to charter schools. 1
B. The Petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all of the
[fifteen elements set forth in section 47605, subdivision (b)(5)]:
Assurances, Affirmations and Declarations
 The Petition does not contain an acknowledgement that provisions within the
District’s Required Language (“DRL”) are the governing provisions of the
Charter for accountability and for purposes of oversight. The DRL addendum to
the Charter ensures consistency in the event language within the Charter is in
conflict with the required provisions, and it provides transparency to all
stakeholders on the substantive requirements based on applicable laws and
policies the District requires as the authorizer of the Charter School (Exhibit B-
MSA 4 Renewal Petition p. 6)
Governance Structure (Element 4) 2
The Petition does not contain a reasonably comprehensive description of Charter
School’s governance structure.
 The Petition does not include language that District policies applicable to charter
schools authorized by LAUSD may be amended from time to time. The omission
of this language does not recognize that as the charter authorizer, the Board of
Education has the discretion to adopt policies that are applicable to charter
schools at any time during the term of the Charter. In addition, there are also
changes in law that could necessitate a change in policies applicable to charter
schools (Exhibit C- MSA 4 DRL Email).
 The Petition contains language limiting the scope of the Office of Inspector
General’s statutory obligations under Education Code section 35400. The Petition
omits language that allegations related to waste, fraud, abuse, and breach of the
Charter, are grounds for an inquiry and/or investigation by the OIG. The Petition
also seeks to limit the OIG’s inquiry to reasonable suspicion that violation has
“occurred or is occurring” which inappropriately limits the OIG’s investigatory
purview. Furthermore, per Education Code section 47604(c), “[a]n authority that
grants a charter to a charter school to be operated by, or as, a nonprofit public
benefit corporation is not liable for the debts or obligations of the charter school,

On October 27, 2017, Magnolia Science Academy 4 (MSA 4) notified the CSD notified the CSD that they will be
submitting their petition with changes to the District Required Language (“DRL”) in the following areas: Legal and Policy
Compliance; Responding to Inquiries; Mandatory Dispute Resolutions; and Facilities Provisions. The District construes the
submission of this email to amend the corresponding provisions in the Petition and bases the relevant findings on this
information. (Exhibit C- MSA 4 DRL Email).

or for claims arising from the performance of acts, errors, or omissions by the
charter school, if the authority has complied with all oversight responsibilities
required by law, including, but not limited to, those required by Section 47604.32
. . .” Among other things, Section 47604.32 requires each chartering authority to:
“Monitor the fiscal condition of each charter school under its authority.”
To assist a chartering authority with its oversight obligation to monitor
the fiscal condition of the charter schools it has authorized, Education
Code section 47604.3 specifies that the charter school “shall promptly
respond to all reasonable inquiries, including, but not limited to,
inquiries regarding its financial records, from its chartering authority . .
. and shall consult with the chartering authority . . . regarding any
inquiries.”
 Through its revisions to the charter petition “Responding to Inquiries” District
Required Language, Charter School is attempting to unlawfully inhibit and
restrict the ability of LAUSD to perform its oversight obligation to monitor the
fiscal condition of the Charter School subjecting LAUSD to liability for the debts
and obligations of the Charter School or for claims arising from the performance
of acts, errors, or omissions by the Charter School.
 Charter School is also attempting to limit its obligation to promptly respond to
inquiries from LAUSD and Charter School’s obligation to consult with LAUSD
regarding such inquiries contrary to Education Code section 47604.3 further
inhibiting LAUSD’s ability to oversee the operations of the Charter School,
compounding the potential fiscal and other claim related liability risk to LAUSD.
Suspension and Expulsion Procedures (Element 10)
The Petition does not contain a reasonably comprehensive description of the Charter
School’s Suspension and Expulsion Procedures.
 The Petition fails to include language that the procedures for conducting
manifestation determinations will be conducted as set forth by a MOU between the
District as the LEA and the Charter School as a “school of the District” for purposes
of special education. Without this language acknowledging a MOU with the District
and without identifying whether the school belongs to an out-of-District SELPA, the
Petition is not reasonably comprehensive and does not identify how special education
services will be provided (Exhibit B- MSA 4 Renewal Petition).
Mandatory Dispute Resolution (Element 14)3
The Petition does not contain a reasonably comprehensive description of the
mandatory dispute resolution process.

On October 27, 2017, Magnolia Science Academy 4 (MSA 4) notified the CSD notified the CSD that they will be
submitting their petition with changes to the District Required Language (“DRL”) in the following areas: Legal and Policy

Doc# 571159 8
 The dispute resolution procedures described in the Petition fail to conform to
procedures which are necessary, appropriate, and efficient for the resolution of
disputes. Specifically, by including terms that parties may seek court action,
Petitioner does not commit to the alternative dispute resolution process including
arbitration which is an attempt towards a more collaborative approach to settling
disputes instead of resorting to litigation.
Additional Provisions
The Petition does not contain a reasonably comprehensive description of the following:
Facilities Provisions:4
The Petition fails to include the following facilities related language consistent with
Education Code section 47605(g) that “the governing board of a school district shall
require that the petitioner[s] provide[s] information regarding the proposed operation and
potential effects of the charter school, including, but not limited to, the facilities to be
used by the school….The description of the facilities to be used by the charter school
shall specify where the school intends to locate.”
 The Charter School fails to assure that it will comply with all geographic and site
limitations and related requirements set forth in Education Code sections 47605.1,
47602(a), and 47605(a).
 The Petition does not include language that if the Charter School occupies a District
owned facility, it would execute an agreement with the District for the use of the
facilities as a condition of Board approval and prior to occupancy. Occupying a
District site without an agreed upon facilities agreement presents significant oversight
problems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and District policies and
procedures for the effective and safe use of the District facility.
 The Petition does not include language that is aligned with Proposition 39
requirements that use of District facilities pursuant to Education Code 47614 shall be
provided through an annual process.
 The Petition does not include language which clarify terms for a Sole Occupant
Agreement or any other use agreement that is not a Proposition 39 Single Year Co-
location Use Agreement or a lease issued through the Notice of Intent and bid
process. Specifically, the Petition does not acknowledge that the agreement shall not
exceed five years.
4
On October 27, 2017, Magnolia Science Academy 5 notified the CSD that they will be submitting their petition
with changes to the District Required Language (“DRL”) in the following areas: Legal and Policy Compliance;
Responding to Inquiries; Mandatory Dispute Resolutions; and Facilities Provisions. The District construes the
submission of this email to amend the corresponding provisions in the Petition and bases the relevant findings on
this information. (Exhibit C- MSA 5 DRL Email).

Doc# 571159 9
 The Petition does not fully include a statement that programs, services, and activities
outside the instructional program including third party vendors may be subject to
license, permit, or any other agreement.
 The Petition fails to assure that prior to occupancy or use of any school site or
facility, Charter School shall provide the CSD with a current Certificate of
Occupancy or equivalent document issued by the applicable permitting agency that
allows Charter School to use and occupy the site as a charter school; and fails to
assure that Charter School shall not exceed the operating capacity of the site and shall
operate within any limitations or requirements provided by the Certificate of
Occupancy and any applicable permit. Omission of this language fails to ensure that
the Charter School will comply with laws to ensure that the facility it occupies is safe
for students and staff.
 The Petition fails to affirm that the charter school’s school site and/or facility will
comply with all applicable building codes, standards and regulations adopted by the
city and/or county agencies responsible for building and safety standards for the city
in which Charter School is to be located, federal and state accessibility requirements
(including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504), and all other
applicable fire, health, and structural safety and access requirements. In addition to
safety issues as noted above, the Petition does fails to ensure that the Charter School
will ensure that facilities are access compliant pursuant to the ADA and Section 504.
 The Petition fails to assure that the Charter School shall resolve in a timely manner
any and all corrective actions, orders to comply, and notices issued by any authorized
building and safety agency and that the Charter School shall maintain on file readily
accessible records that document facilities compliance and shall promptly provide
such documentation to the CSD upon request.
 The Petition fails to affirm that the Charter School shall comply with the Healthy
Schools Act, Education Code section 17608, which details pest management
requirements for schools.
 The Petition fails to affirm that the Charter School shall comply with the asbestos
requirement as cited in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40
C.F.R. part 763.
Insurance Provisions
Education Code section 47605(g) provides that the governing board the governing board
of a school district shall require that the petitioner provides information on the proposed
operation and potential effects of the charter school, including the manner in which
administrative services of the school are to be provided, and potential civil liability
effects, if any, upon the school and upon the school district. The Petition does not contain
the required minimum amount of insurance coverage which protects the District and the
Charter School in the event of a claim or lawsuit for loss, damages, and injuries.

Doc# 571159 10
Audit and Inspection of Records
 The Petition does not include language acknowledging that the Charter School, is
subject to audit by the Office of Inspector General which restricts the ability of
LAUSD to perform its oversight obligation to monitor the fiscal condition of the
Charter School.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing, Staff recommends that the Petition be denied for the following reasons:
(1) it is demonstrably unlikely that the Petitioners will successfully implement the program set
forth in the Petition and (2) the Petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions
of certain required elements set forth in Education Code section 47605, subdivision (b)(5)(A-O).
As stated in the comments to SB 1290, “This bill specifies that a charter authorizer must consider
increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils served by the school, as
measured by the [Academic Performance Index (API)], ‘as the most important factor’ for
renewal and revocation. This does not mean the charter school is automatically not renewed or
revoked, but it does mean that the charter authority must consider this information as the most
important factor in making its decision. In other words, the charter authority must give extra
weight to this factor when it considers all the factors for renewal or revocation.”
In review of the Charter School’s Petition, the District has considered increases in pupil
academic achievement for all groups of pupils served by the charter school as the most important
factor in determining whether to grant the charter renewal.
VII. CONCLUSION
In order to deny the Petition on the grounds set forth above, Education Code section 47605,
subdivision (b), requires the Board to make “written factual findings, specific to the particular
petition, setting forth specific facts to support one or more” grounds for denying the Petition.
Should the Board decide to deny the Petition, District Staff recommends that the Board adopt
these Findings of Fact as its own.

CRITERIA FOR RENEWAL
Upon submission, District staff comprehensively reviews each renewal petition
application to determine whether the school has met the requirements for renewal set
forth in California Education Code sections 47605 and 47607.  Once a charter school is
determined to be eligible for renewal under § 47607(b), the school must submit a
renewal petition application that, upon review, is determined to be educationally sound,
reasonably comprehensive, and demonstrably likely to be successfully implemented.
(Ed. Code §§ 47607(a) and 47605.)  Pursuant to the requirements of SB 1290, the
District “shall consider increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils
served by the charter school as the most important factor in determining whether to
grant a charter renewal.”  (Ed. Code § 47607(a)(3)(A).) The District “shall consider the
past performance of the school’s academics, finances, and operation in evaluating the
likelihood of future success, along with future plans for improvement if any.”  (5 CCR §
11966.4.)  Please see Policy for Charter School Authorizing (LAUSD Board of Education,
February 7, 2012) for more information.

achieve those goals. A charter petition may identify additional school priorities, the goals for the school priorities,
and the specific annual actions to achieve those goals.” (Ed. Code § 47605(b)(5)(A)(ii).)
“If the proposed charter school will serve high school pupils, a description of the manner in which the charter
school will inform parents about the transferability of courses to other public high schools and the eligibility of
courses to meet college entrance requirements. Courses offered by the charter school that are accredited by the
Western Association of Schools and Colleges may be considered transferable and courses approved by the
University of California or the California State University as creditable under the “A” to “G” admissions criteria
may be considered to meet college entrance requirements.” (Ed. Code § 47605(b)(5)(A)(iii).)
LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA (LCFF) AND LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN (LCAP)

• How English Learners’ specific needs will be identified
• What services will be offered

Act of 1990, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004.
Special Education Program
Charter School shall ensure that no student otherwise eligible to enroll in Charter School shall be denied,
directly or indirectly, admission due to a disability or to Charter School’s inability to provide necessary
services. Charter School acknowledges that policies and procedures are in place to ensure the
recruitment, enrollment, service, and retention of students with disabilities at LAUSD-authorized charter
schools, including Charter School.
Prior to Board approval of an initial Charter petition, and if a renewing Charter School intends to operate
as a “school of the district” for special education services, Charter School shall execute a Memorandum
of Understanding (“MOU”) by and between LAUSD and Charter School regarding the provision and
funding of special education services consistent with applicable state law and the LAUSD Special Education
Local Plan Area (“SELPA”) Local Plan for Special Education and shall be considered a ‘public school of the
District’ for purposes of Special Education pursuant to Education Code Section 47641(b). However,
Charter School reserves the right to make written verifiable assurances that it may become an
independent local educational agency (LEA) and join a SELPA pursuant to Education Code Section 47641
(a) either on its own or with a grouping of charter school LEAs as a consortium following the requirements
of Education Code section 56195.3(b).”
SELPA Reorganization
The Los Angeles Unified School District is approved to operate as a single-District SELPA under the
provisions of Education Code section 56195.1(a). As a single-District SELPA, the District has created two
charter school sections (District-operated Programs and Charter-operated Programs) under the
administration of one single Administrative Unit pursuant to a reorganization plan approved by the Board
of Education on January 4, 2011 (149/10-11). Full implementation of the reorganized LAUSD SELPA
commenced in the 2013-2014 school year requiring all District-authorized charter schools to elect one of
the three options available under the LAUSD SELPA. Prior to an option election, all District-authorized
charter schools were required to participate as a school of the District under the District-Operated
Programs Unit. Prior to the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, all District-authorized charter schools,
other than those that had previously executed an Option 3 Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”),
were required to execute a new MOU setting forth the LAUSD SELPA option election for the remainder of
the charter petition term. The Charter-operated Program schools do not have LEA status for the purposes
of special education but will function in a similar role in that each charter school will be responsible for all

special education requirements, including but not limited to services, placement, due process, related
services, special education classes, and special education supports. Charter schools that have elected to
participate in a District-operated programs option may apply for membership in the Charter-operated
Program section of the SELPA. Charter schools accepted for participation in the Charter-operated
Programs section receive support from a Special Education Director for the Charter-operated Programs.
Modified Consent Decree Requirements
All charter schools approved by the LAUSD Board of Education are bound by and must adhere to the
terms, conditions and requirements of the Chanda Smith Modified Consent Decree (“MCD”) and other
court orders imposed upon the District pertaining to special education. The MCD is a consent decree
entered in a federal court class action lawsuit initially brought on behalf of students with disabilities in
LAUSD. It is an agreement of the parties approved by the federal court and monitored by a court-
appointed independent monitor. The MCD includes nineteen statistically measureable outcomes and
facilities obligations that the District has to achieve to disengage from the MCD and federal court
oversight. All charter schools are required to use the District’s Special Education Policies and Procedures
Manual and Welligent, the District-wide web-based software system used for online Individualized
Education Programs (“IEPs”) and tracking of related services provided to students during the course of
their education.
As part of fulfilling the District’s obligations under the MCD, student level data requests from District-
operated and Charter-operated charter schools are made on a regular basis. The requested data must be
submitted in the Office of the Independent Monitor’s (“OIM”) required format in accordance with the
OIM’s required timelines and as follows:
● End of Year Suspension
District ID, SSIS ID, last name, first name, date of birth, gender, grade, date of suspension,
number of days suspended, and reason for suspension.

The standard file including District ID.
