California charter renewals are back, and school teams face an overload of information and resources. On May 21-22, Procopio attorneys Greta Proctor and Merrick Wadsworth are providing 2 one-hour webinars to help synthesize your renewal plan, understand your school’s legal rights, and put it all together in charter petitions that for many schools haven’t been updated in nearly 8 years.  
 
More than 100 charter schools are up for renewal in the first post-pandemic cycle beginning now. Even for schools heading to renewal in future years, it’s time to start planning. Procopio attorneys have long supported charter school clients in preparing for renewal by reviewing and updating charter petitions to reflect new laws, helping schools prepare their data stories, and strategizing for renewal given a school’s unique program and authorizer.

We will cover FAQs about charter renewals after AB 1505, tips for pre-planning in the years leading up to renewal, what goes into the renewal petition, different legal standards depending on your Track (or DASS status), deadlines and timing, appeals at the County and State levels, and what authorizers can (and cannot) consider beyond the Dashboard. The complimentary webinars are open to all charter schools.  
 
Additionally, if your school is a current client of Procopio or would like to become a client, feel free to reach out to Greta or Merrick regarding a legal review of your charter petition or to discuss your individual renewal. Greta and Merrick work with school clients during the renewal process, including responses to staff reports and support at board meetings.
