Charter Requests for Facilities Upgrades - Overview

• The Chancellor or his/her designee must first authorize in writing any proposed capital improvement or facility upgrade in excess of five thousand dollars, regardless of the source of funding, made to accommodate the co-location of a charter school within a public school building.

• For any capital improvements or facility upgrades in excess of five thousand dollars that have been approved by the Chancellor, regardless of the source of funding, made in a charter school that is already co-located within a public school building, matching capital improvements or facility upgrades shall be made in an amount equal to the expenditure of the charter school for each non-charter public school within the public school building within three months of such improvements or upgrades.

Charter Project ReviewOnce a charter request has been submitted and reviewed, the charter operator will receive written approval or denial from the Chancellor.

Notes:•If a Third Party vendor is performing the work, the charter operator will need to ensure that all the proper paper work has been filled out appropriately and submitted as required by Third Party guidelines. Without approval of the Third Party Agreement, no work can proceed, even if it has been approved by the Chancellor.

•If DSF or SCA are performing the work, work can begin immediately, with the approval letter from the Chancellor.
