We call on the board to reconsider its policy and work collaboratively with the charter school community to ensure every student has the necessary resources to succeed.
Jass Stewart, chief of strategy and innovation at the charter school network Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, tells LAUSD board that restricting charter school locations was harmful to the community, on March 19, 2024. Public school campuses are not merely buildings; they are the backbone of our educational system, serving as hubs of learning, growth, and community engagement.
On April 2, the California Charter Schools Association filed a lawsuit against LAUSD in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, to prevent the implementation of the unlawful policy that severely limits charter public school students’ access to LAUSD campuses and prohibits charter schools from sharing space with more than 300 schools in the district, nearly half of all campuses.
Despite our offer to work collaboratively with the Board on a fair and equitable policy that would improve the process of sharing campuses, LAUSD disregarded the voices of charter school students and families and adopted a new policy supported by UTLA, their biggest campaign contributor. Board Members Jackie Goldberg, Dr. Rocio Rivas, Scott Schmerelson, and George McKenna voted to support the policy.
