The subject of Charter School and Field Act and DSA
bothers me sometimes. Wanna share some thought:
By definition, "Charter schools are independent public schools
with rigorous curriculum programs and unique
educational approaches in exchange for operational freedom.
So whenever I see the word "charter", it's NOT a private school, period ?
Field Act, in broad sense, to protect students, teachers and public educational
facilities. That will NOT include Charter Schools properties, which are mostly private.
But the students and teachers are still subjects of protection (we all Californians),
DSA already will not do T24 for local ESB, furthermore will not do SS+LS for
Charter Schools sounds logical to me; it's just a matter of delegation.
Q: But why DSA does not delegate AC to local AHJ as well ? Must be some legal
constraints we didn't see ? Perhaps funding influence ? Or perhaps this is too detailed for CSE.
