Charter School Appeal Process

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Assembly Bill 1505 prohibits establishing new nonclassroom-based charter schools between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2026. 

​​​​​​

Charter school petitioners may submit an appeal to the Orange County Board of Education following a denial by a local school district. ​

Orange County Department of Education Charter Schools Unit staff facilitate the charter school petition sub​mission​ process, conduct petition review, and provide recommendations, including recommended findings, to the Orange County Board of Education.
