Join us June 22-24 in Costa Mesa for CCAP’s California Charter School Authorizers Conference.

Come to meet and network with other authorizers and come to learn how recent changes in California charter school law will affect authorizers’ oversight and other responsibilities. It’s an ideal opportunity for staff members involved in charter school oversight, superintendents and district and county board members. Whether you authorize one school or ten or work in a rural, suburban or urban district, the conference will offer skill-building workshops to meet your needs and strengthen your oversight practices.

New to authorizing? Join us for Charter Authorizing & Oversight 101, a preconference workshop on authorizing basics presented by the Charter Authorizer Support Initiative (CASI).

Other sessions and program features include:

• San Diego Deputy District Attorneys Leon Schorr and Kevin Fannan on lessons learned from the prosecutions in the A3 Education fraud scandal
• Review of recent changes in the law
• Effective fiscal oversight
• Charter school oversight for school board and county board members
• The authorizer role in ensuring equity for English learner students in charter schools
• Challenges with non-classroom based and hybrid charter schools
• Warning signs of fiscal distress in charter schools
• Role-alike meetings (small/rural authorizers, board members, large authorizers, CBOs, etc.)
• A toolkit on evaluating new charter school petitions
• And more!
