Charter schools: preferences for admission.
Summary
Existing law requires, if the number of pupils who wish to attend a charter school exceeds its capacity, preference to be extended to pupils currently attending the charter school and pupils who reside in the school district. Existing law also authorizes other preferences to be extended, on an individual school basis, if consistent with the law. This bill would prohibit preferences based on a parent's or guardian's contribution of time to support charter school activities or financial contribution to the charter school.
